Alarm over cancer death rate rises in three decades
A New England Journal study led by Bailar and Smith reports cancer deaths increased from 170 per 100000 in 1950 to 185 in 1982 after aging adjustments, arguing prevention should take precedence over new treatments. The report notes slow overall progress and cites lung cancer as a key factor in rising mortality.
