Some Women More Susceptible to Rare Early Breast Cancer

Description

A new study found that younger women and black women have a greater chance of being diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS, however increased diagnosis and treatment of women with cancerous cells has not resulted in statistically significant lower levels of death. With the discovery that treatment of very early stage cancers has not reduced mortality from the disease significantly, some researchers are questioning the effects of what they describe as over-diagnosis and over-treatment. Researchers wrote in the study, published in JAMA Oncology, "The reason for the decline may be better distinction between DCIS and invasive cancer, but overdiagnosis is likely, given that the incidence of DCIS has increased dramatically over the same period."

Report: US Cancer Deaths Dropped By Roughly A Third In The Last Two Decades

A new analysis by the American Cancer Society reveals death from cancer in the United States fell 31% between 1991 and 2018. Nevertheless, the organization also estimates that this year, nearly 1.9 million people will be diagnosed with cancer and more than 600,000 will die from it. According to UPI, cancer remains the second-leading cause of death in the United States. Significant gains have been made in four of the deadliest and most common cancer, namely lung, breast, colorectal, and prostate. Lung cancer is still the most common cause of cancer death nationally. However, the data showed death rates for the disease fell 2.4% annually between 2009 and 2013 and 5% annually between 2014 and 2018.
