The American Cancer Society's annual US report for 2015 projected about 1.66 million new cancer cases and recorded a cancer death rate 22% below its 1991 peak, the year the series began reporting deaths averted in the millions.
Siegel and colleagues projected 1,658,370 new cancer cases and 589,430 cancer deaths in the United States for 2015. The cancer death rate had fallen 22% from its 1991 peak to 2011, which the authors translated into about 1.5 million fewer cancer deaths than if rates had stayed at the peak.
This edition marked twenty years of falling US cancer mortality and is cited for the estimate that more than 1.5 million deaths had been averted.
