About The Study: Mortality has decreased for every leading cancer-related death in people younger than 50 years in the U.S. except colorectal cancer, which is now the leading cancer death in females and males combined, up from the fifth-leading cancer death in the early 1990s. Breast cancer and leukemia mortality decreased despite increasing incidence.
