Some good stats for a change

The good news is the cancer rate is still declining, and that since the early 1990s is down more than 18 percent for men and more than 10 percent for women. Those reductions translate to more than half a million cancer deaths avoided, according to the cancer society.

Experts attribute the success to declines in smoking and to earlier detection and more effective treatment of tumors.

Thanks for posting this Marty...I think much of it as well, is that people are simply living with cancer longer.
Either way, it's nice to see some positive news for once!
