An estimated 12 million people in the United States have cancer, but a new report by the American Cancer Society (ACS) shows that we are continuing to make strides in the fight against the devastating disease.  

The ACS is a nationwide voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer, providing support and spreading awareness. Every year, the organization publishes a comprehensive report outlining the status of cancer in the U.S., pooling data from several nationally maintained registries.
