Cancer is killing far fewer people in the United States than a generation ago, a new report shows.
Thirty-five percent fewer children and 25 percent fewer adults died from cancer in 2014 than did in 1991.
This means that about 2.1 million cancer deaths have been avoided.
Cancer death rates are slowing, but cases of cancer continue to increase. According to the new report from the American Association for Cancer Research (AACH), the number of people with cancer will increase from 1.7 million this year to 2.3 million by 2030.
