The American Cancer Society’s Annual Cancer Trends The report shows that 2025 news and statistics are mixed together.
Between 1991 and 2022, cancer mortality dropped by 34%, and ACS was attributed to early detection, reduced smoking and improved treatment.
Despite the encouraging numbers, oncologists and cancer experts remain concerned about some other factors.
The report shows that progress in many aspects continues, but some areas remain “significant concern,” but Dr. Joshua Strauss, a hematologist and medical oncologist with senior nursing oncology and hematology partners in Atlantic Medical Group in Morristown, New Jersey, shared with Fox News Digital.

Experts say the following are the most eye-catching trends.
1. No improvement in cancer deaths in young people
The report said that the prevalence of cancer in young people and adolescents continues to rise, with the rate of adolescents slowly increasing by 0.7% each year.
Cancer is the leading cause of death related to disease Children and teenagers – The most common are leukemia, brain cancer and lymphoma.
ACS estimates in 2025 that 9,550 children aged 14 and 5,140 teenagers aged 15 to 19 will be diagnosed with cancer, with 1,050 children and 600 teenagers going to die.

Dr. Paul Oberstein, a gastrointestinal medical oncologist and GI medical oncology department at the NYU Langone Perlmutter Cancer Center, reiterated that people under the age of 50 see higher cancer mortality.
“This shows up in a variety of cancers,” he told Fox News Digital. “I would say the biggest finding is Young women with breast cancer. ”
Study found that survival rates of pancreatic cancer patients doubled
Prevalence GI (gastrointestinal tract) cancer It is also increasing among young people, including pancreatic and colon cancer.
Oberstein said experts are on why more young people are often diagnosed, including diet, exposure to microplastics or other environmental triggers.

“We don’t have a good explanation, we need Investment discovery Why this could be the case so we can change it. ” he said.
2. Cervical cancer continues to pose an unnecessary threat
Cervical cancer It is one of the few cancers that can be prevented, but thousands of women are still at risk.
The report says that although the incidence of cervical cancer has been reduced by more than half from the mid-1970s to the mid-2000s due to screening absorption, these figures have stabilized since then.
Alcohol related to new consultations from U.S. surgeons are linked to cancer risk
13,000 women are expected to be diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2025, while 4,000 women will die, said board-certified obstetrician Dr. Jessica Shepherd, Ph.D., a board-certified obstetrician in Dallas, Texas.

“Cervical cancer is increasing among women aged 30 to 44,” she told Fox News Digital. “But because we know the understanding of HPV and its prevalence in the disease, it is a cancer that has the potential to eliminate (even if not eliminated).
HPV (Human Papillomavirus Infection), which is the most common cause Cervical cancercan pass the test and test.
Experimental vaccines for common cancers show potential clinical trials
“Our innovations and technologies should reduce the rate of certain cervical cancers,” Shepherd said.
3. Some communities lack health care visits
ACS report found that Native Americans and Blacks continue to die at a higher rate than whites in several different cancers.
Among patients with cervical cancer, the mortality rate among black women and Native American women is 50% and 70% higher than that of white women.
The report found that the five-year relative survival rate for cervical cancer in black women was 58%, while the relative rate for white women was 67%.

Shepherd added that this difference in mortality is likely due to the lack of access to a doctor and the difference in regular screening.
“Cervical cancer can be prevented by screening with PAP plus HPV and doing co-testing,” she said. “If we have the ability to have more potential early detection, then we can see abnormalities in the cell … before it actually occurs in cancer, we can take the time to resolve it.”
4. Diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer worsens
Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, such as pancreas, liver, colorectal and gastric cancers, are considered highly fatal.
The ACS report states Colorectal diagnosis Among men and women under the age of 65, the increase continues.
Between 2012 and 2021, the increase in people aged less than 50 is 2.4% annually and 0.4% annually for adults.

be opposed to Pancreatic cancer According to the report, other cancers are also being delayed as men and women have morbidity and mortality increased by 1% per year.
ACS noted that in 2025, an estimated 67,440 new cases of pancreatic cancer will be diagnosed in the United States and 51,980 deaths will be held.

Pancreatic cancer mortality in men and women increased by 0.2% to 0.3% annually, with a five-year relative survival rate of 13%, and Strauss was described as “disturbing.”
GI expert Oberstein noted that these types of cancer “usually have poor outcomes”, although early detection and treatment have improved over the past few decades.

He told Fox News Digital, adding: “The biggest benefit we see in mortality is the early detection of GI cancer.

“But we do need to double the attempts to detect gastric cancer, liver cancer, and especially pancreatic cancer in order to make a difference,” Oberstein said.
