“This is good news because cancer death rates have continued to decrease since the early 1990s because of prevention and improved treatment for many cancers,” says lead author Ahmedin Jemal, DVM, PhD, the strategic director of cancer surveillance at the American Cancer Society in Atlanta. “We have to be optimistic based on the trends. We are on the right track.”

“It’s great news that a large chunk of the decreased death rates in women can be attributed to breast cancer,” she says.

“Fewer women are getting mammography and that’s why fewer women are getting diagnosed with breast cancer, so eventually that will come back and bite us in the rear end,” Dr. Weiss says.

“Fat makes extra hormones, which lead to extra cell activity and extra abnormal cell activity,” she says. “Fat is a storing facility for hormonally active pollutants, so if you are overweight, you’re more likely to hold on to some chemicals in the environment that enter your body from food and water.”

“Fat brings on puberty earlier and early puberty is a risk factor for breast cancer,” Dr. Weiss says.

“Colorectal cancer screening saves lives because it detects cancer at early stages when treatment is more effective, and it also removes precancerous lesions,” says Jemal.
