Throughout the last two decades, several million deaths from cancer are avoided, researchers reported in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians. Death rates which are more common cancers, including colon, breast, prostate and lung cancers happen to be dropping steadily yearly. However, some rarer cancers, such has kidney, thyroid, liver and pancreas cancers have noticed death rates and total incidences rise.
In the annual report, titled "Cancer Statistics 2012", plus an accompanying article "Cancer Facts & Figures 2012", the authors estimate what number of new cancer diagnoses and cancer deaths it will have this holiday season in america.
The authors predict that :
African-American women, in contrast, employ a 6% lower incidence of the latest cancer diagnoses, but a 16% greater fatality rate than Caucasian women.
The steepest cave in death rates from cancer within the last few 2 decades were observed in African-American men.
The authors of both reports say that existing understanding of combating cancer has to be applied across all segments of society, particularly in low income households.
Tobacco use and obesity are estimated to become each main cancer-causing factors for 2012. Tobacco me is estimated to cause 1 / 3rd of cancer deaths in the coming a year, and obesity, poor nutrition and physical inactivity another third.
While overall cancer rates and cancer death rates have dropped during the last twenty years, there have been a corresponding surge in those two rates for most rarer cancers.
The subsequent rarer cancers have experienced incidence and total deaths increase throughout the last 20 years :

The authors predict that :
- There may have been 1,638,910 new cancer diagnoses in 2012 in america
- There could have been 577,190 cancer deaths in 2012 in the us
- From 1990 to 2008, overall death rates dropped by approximately 23% in adult men
- From 1990 to 2008, overall death rates dropped by about 15% in adult females
- These figures imply over the million cancer deaths in that period were avoide

The subsequent rarer cancers have experienced incidence and total deaths increase throughout the last 20 years :
- Kidney cancer. Rates rose in all of the groups, except American Indian/Alaska Native men.
- Thyroid cancer. Rates rose in every groups, with the exception of American Indian/Alaska Native men.
- Cancer of the liver. Rates rose among Caucasian, African-American and Hispanic males, along with African-American females.
- Esophageal adenocarcinoma. Rates increased among Caucasian and Hispanic adult men.
- Melanoma on the epidermis
- Some throat cancers (related to HPV infection). The rise was just among Caucasians.
