Fox News
The American Cancer Society (ACS) in a new report said lung cancer incidence and mortality were declining.
Lung cancer incidence reportedly fell for advanced disease, while rates for localized-stage increased suddenly by 4.5% annually, "contributing to gains both in the proportion of localized-stage diagnoses (from 17% in 2004 to 28% in 2018) and 3-year relative survival (from 21% to 31%)."
Mortality patterns reflected incidence trends, with declines "accelerating for lung cancer."
