Over the past five decades, there’s been a dramatic drop in the number of deaths from many types of cancer. A new analysis shows that most of those avoided deaths could be traced to prevention and screening efforts. Improved treatments also played a role, especially in preventing breast cancer deaths. The findings could help guide future prevention and screening efforts nationwide. https://bit.ly/3C5X1lP #cancer #CancerPrevention #CancerTreatment #research #NIH
