| Abstract: The Surveillance Research Program, of the American Cancer Society's, Department of Epidemiology and Surveillance Research reports its annual compilation of estimated cancer incidence, mortality, and survival data for the United Stares in the year 2000. After 70 years of increases, the recorded number of total cancer deaths among men in the LIS declined for the first time from 1996 to 1997, This decrease in overall male,mortality is the result of recent downturns in lung and bronchus cancer deaths, prostate cancer deaths, mid color and rectum cancer deaths, Despite decreasing numbers of deaths from female breast cancer and colon and rectum cancer, mortality associated with lung and bronchus cancer among women continues to increase. Lung cancer is expected to account for 25% of all female cancer deaths in 2000. This report also includes a summary of global cancer mortality rates using data from the World Health Organization.
