The annual of the American Cancer Society Cancer trends The report revealed a combination of news and statistics by 2025.
Cancer mortality rates have fallen 34% between 1991 and 2022, which the ACS attributes to early detection, reduction of smoking and treatment improvements.
While these numbers are encouraging, oncologists and cancer specialists still have concern about other factors.
Cancer mortality rates decrease but new spike diagnoses for some groups, says the report
While the report shows continuous progress on many fronts, certain areas remain “significant concerns”, Dr. Joshua Strauss, an assistant hematologist and medical oncologist of Advancezed Care Oncology and Hematology Associates of the Atlantic Medical Group in Morristown, New Jersey, shared with Fox News Digital.

Below are some of the most worrying trends, according to experts.
1. Cancer deaths that do not improve in younger individuals
The prevalence of cancer in younger individuals and adolescents has continued to increase, according to the report, and adolescents rates slowly increase by 0.7% each year.
Cancer is the main cause of death related to the disease between Children and adolescents – More commonly leukemia, brain cancer and lymphoma.
In 2025, the ACS estimates that 9,550 children up to 14 years and 5,140 adolescents aged 15 to 19 will be diagnosed with cancer, and that 1,050 children and 600 adolescents will die.

Dr. Paul Oberstein, a gastrointestinal medical oncologist and Chief of Medical Oncology GI at the Nyu Langone Perlmutter Cancer, reiterated that people under 50 are seeing higher rates of cancer deaths.
“It is shown in multiple cancers,” he told Fox News Digital. “I would say that the greatest finding is in Young women With breast cancer. “
The prevalence of GI cancers (gastrointestinal) It is also increasing among younger adults, including pancreatic and colon cancer.
According to Oberstein, experts have variable hypotheses about why young people are more frequently diagnosed, including diet, exposure to microplastics or other environmental triggers.
A medical oncologist pressed to obtain more research between patients and institutions to “discover what is happening.” (Istock)
“We don’t have a good explanation and we need invest in discovering Why this could be the case for us to change it, “he said.
2. Cervical cancer continues to represent an unnecessary threat
Cervical cancer It is one of the few cancers that can be prevented, however, thousands of women are still at risk.
While the incidence rates of Cervical Cancer decreased by more than half since the mid -1970s until the mid -2000s due to detection absorption, these numbers have stabilized since then, according to the report.

According to Dr. Jessica Shepherd, a obstetric gynecologist certified in Dallas, Texas, 13,000 women will be diagnosed.
The risk of cervical cancer and mortality rates are correlated with connectivity with a medical care provider, an expert said. (Istock)
“Cervical cancer in women aged 30 to 44 is increasing,” he told Fox News Digital. “But also, this is a cancer that has the potential to be eradicated, if not eliminated, because we know the understanding of HPV and its prevalence in the disease.”

“We have innovation and technology that should be decreasing certain cervical cancer rates,” Shepherd said.
3. Some communities lack access to health
ACS’s report found that Native Americans and blacks continue to die at higher rates than white people for several different cancers.
Among patients with cervical cancer, the mortality rate in black women and American native women is 50% and 70% higher than in white women.
The five -year survival rate for cervical cancer in black women is 58% compared to 67% of white women, according to the report.
Black women have 50% more likely to die of cervical cancer than white women, according to the report. (Istock)
It is very likely that this discrepancy in the mortality rate is due to the lack of access to doctors and regular exams, added Shepherd, who pressed to obtain more research, consciousness and public education.
“Cervical cancer can be prevented by the detection of the PAP plus HPV and joint tests,” he said. “If we had the ability to have more potential early detection, then we could see abnormalities in the cells … Before I really reach cancer and could take the time to address it.”
4. GI cancer diagnoses are worsening
Gastrointestinal cancers (GI), such as pancreatic, liver, colorectal and stomach cancers, are considered very mortal.
The ACS report said Colorectal diagnoses In men and women under 65, they have continued to increase.
Between 2012 and 2021, the incidence rates of colorectal cancer increased by 2.4% each year in people under 50 and 0.4% per year in adults aged 50 to 64.

Advance against pancreatic cancer It is also behind other cancers, according to the report, as the incidence and mortality rates increase by 1% every year in men and women.
The ACS said that in 2025, it is estimated that 67,440 new cases of pancreatic cancer will be diagnosed in the US and 51,980 people will die for it.

The mortality rate for pancreatic cancer has increased by 0.2% to 0.3% each year in men and women, and the five -year survival rate is 13%, what Strauss described as “lousy.”
Oberstein, a GI specialist, said that this type of cancers “often have very poor results”, although there have been some improvements in detection and early treatment in recent decades.
Gastrointestinal cancers “often have very poor results,” warned an oncologist. (Istock)
“The greatest benefit we have seen in terms of mortality comes from the previous detection of GI cancers,” Digital’s Fox News told Fox News, and added that colon cancer has the best results when detected early.

“But we really need to double the attempt to detect stomach cancer, liver cancer and especially pancreatic cancer before to make a big difference,” Oberstein said.
