Yep. But there is a wide variety of cancers, the mortality rates vary widely, and there are an increasing number of treatment modalities for a lot of them if caught soon enough. Early intervention is the most important factor, which means better access to health care systems more focused on screening and prevention. Good luck with that in the U.S., without universal access to health care and a cottage industry of health care providers focused on how to get as much money as they can out of a piece-meal, fee-for-service system focused on increasing the volume of services you can mark up huge profit margins on.
