The new report finds breast cancer mortality rates overall have dropped by 44% since 1989, averting approximately 517,900 breast cancer deaths. However, not all women have benefited from this progress, notably American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) women, whose rates have remained unchanged over the past three decades American Cancer Society (ACS) /articles/latest-data-shows-decreases-in-cancer-diagnoses-and-early-stage-disease-continued-in-second-year-of-covid-19-pandemic/?sc=rsin /articles/latest-data-shows-decreases-in-cancer-diagnoses-and-early-stage-disease-continued-in-second-year-of-covid-19-pandemic/?sc=rsin Mon, 23 Sep 2024 17:00:27 EST Using newly released cancer surveillance data, researchers at the American Cancer Society (ACS) found decreases in cancer diagnoses and proportion of early-stage diagnoses continued in 2021 in the United States during the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The proportion of late-stage diagnoses was lower in 2021 than in 2020, but has not returned to pre-pandemic levels. The findings will be presented at the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium in San Francisco, September 27 - 28, 2024.

However, little is known about changes in income, wealth, and debt before and after major disease diagnoses. New data by researchers at the American Cancer Society (ACS) shows these families face various new types of debts, especially medical debt, after diagnoses. Moreover, newly diagnosed with cancer is associated with an increased likelihood of experiencing medical debt. The findings will be presented at the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium in San Francisco, September 27 - 28, 2024.

Researchers also reported that patients treated during a hurricane were more likely to receive higher total doses of radiation and complete more fractions. These findings will be presented at the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium in San Francisco, September 27 - 28, 2024.
