Cancer
Cancer, in general, is the uncontrolled growth of cells within a patient’s body and the potential spread of
these abnormal cells creating functional problems in the different organs of the body. It is normal for cells
to reproduce and grow, but when they grow out of control, it becomes a problem.
An American diagnosed with cancer today is very likely to join the growing ranks of survivors, who are estimated to total 12 million and will reach 18 million by 2020. The five-year survival rate for all forms of cancer combined has risen to 66 percent, more than double what it was 50 years ago.
Along with the improving five-year survival rates, the cancer death rate has been falling by 1 percent to 2 percent annually since 1990.
According to the World Health Organization, cancer will be the leading world-wide cause of death in 2010. More than 40 percent of Americans will develop cancer during their lifetime.
While survival rates improve and death rates fall, cancer still accounts for one in every five deaths in the U.S.A., and cost this nation $89.0 billion in direct medical costs and another $18.2 billion in lost productivity during the illness in 2007, according to the National Institutes of Health.
