Cancer death rates in the United States peaked in 1991 at 215 deaths per 100,000 people. Since then, they have fallen 34%, averting an estimated 4.5 million deaths. The decline accelerated from about 1% annually in the 1990s to 2% annually by 2015-2020, driven primarily by plummeting smoking rates, earlier detection through screening, and advances in targeted therapies and immunotherapy.
