CANCER DEATHS HISTORIC DROP!

For the first time in more than 70 years,
annual cancer deaths in the United States
have fallen.

The number of cancer deaths dropped to
556,902 in 2003, down from 557,271 the
year before, according to a recently
completed review of U.S. death certificates
by the National Center for Health Statistics.

It's the first annual decrease in total
cancer deaths since 1930, when nationwide
data began to be compiled.

Now that's Positive News!

Wow, That's cool.

Hopefully the start of a downward trend. Cures for cancer are beginning to have an impact. Excellent.
