A report by the American Association for Cancer Research stated that significant strides in cancer treatments, diagnostic tools and prevention strategies continue to drive down cancer death rates. Some experts point to tools like immunotherapies — using a person’s own immune system to fight off cancer — and routine screenings for common cancers as major contributors to decreasing death rates.
More is on the horizon with novel therapies that can be administered at home and minimally invasive surgical techniques that don’t require overnight stays, according to the report.
