"Continued reductions in #cancermortality because of drops in smoking, better treatment, and earlier detection is certainly great news. However, this progress is tempered by rising incidence in young and middle-aged women, who are often the family caregivers, and a shifting cancer burden from men to women, harkening back to the early 1900s when #cancer was more common in women.
