Cancer deaths have been dropping steadily since the early 1990s among both men and women. Childhood cancer incidence rates continued to increase slightly. Death rates in this age group (birth to age 19) continue to decrease.
Yes, this data looks outdated with the 2007 date; however, the CDC only recently released it in association with a forthcoming report:
Kohler BA, Ward E, McCarthy BJ, Schymura MJ, Ries LAG, Eheman C, Jemal A, Anderson RA, Ajani UA, Edwards BK. Annual report to the nation on the status of cancer, 1975–2007, featuring tumors of the brain and other nervous system. Journal of the National Cancer Institute May 4, 2011.
