The annual cancer trend report of the American Cancer Society unveiled a mix of news and statistics for 2025.
The death rate of cancer fell by 34% between 1991 and 2022, which attributes the ACS to early detection, smoking reduction and improvements in treatment.
Although these figures are encouraging, oncologists and cancer specialists are still worried about some other factors.
Cancer death rates are falling but new diagnoses peak for some groups, says report
Although the report shows persistent progress on many fronts, certain areas of ‘considerable concern’, Dr. Joshua Strauss, a attending hematologist and medical oncologist at Advanced Care Oncology and Hematology Associates of the Atlantic Medical Group in Morristown, New Jersey, shared with Fox News Digital.

Below are some of the most worrying trends, according to experts.
1. Cancer deficiencies that do not improve in younger persons
The prevalence of cancer in younger persons and adolescents has continued to rise according to the report, with the rates in teenagers slowly rising by 0.7%.
Cancer is the most important disease-related cause of death in children and adolescents-mestic leukemia, brain cancer and lymphoma.
In 2025, the ACS estimates that 9,550 children up to 14 years old and 5,140 adolescents from 15 to 19 years old are diagnosed with cancer, and that 1,050 children and 600 adolescents will die.

Dr. Paul Oberstein, a gastrointestinal medical oncologist and head leader of Gi Medical Oncology at NYU Langone Perlmutter Cancer Center, repeated that people younger than 50 years of seeing higher percentages of killing cancer.
“It is shown in several cancers,” he told Fox News Digital. “I would say that the biggest finding is in young women with breast cancer.”

The prevalence of GI (gastro -intestinal) cancers also increases among younger adults, including pancreas and colon cancer.
Experts have various hypotheses why young people are diagnosed more often, including diet, exposure to microplastics or other environmental triggers, according to Oberstein.
One medical oncologist insisted on more research in patients and institutions to ‘find out what is going on’. (Istock)
“We don’t have a good explanation and we have to invest in discovering why this can be the case so that we can change it,” he said.
2. Cervical cancer continues to pose unnecessary threats
Cervical cancer is one of the few cancers that can be prevented, but thousands of women are still at risk.
Although the incidence of cervical cancer with more than half of the mid -1970s until the mid -2000s fell by more than half as a result of the recording of the screening, these figures have since stabilized, according to the report.

A projected 13,000 women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2025 and 4,000 will die, according to Dr. Jessica Shepherd, a midwife gynecologist in Dallas, Texas.

“Cervical cancer in women from 30 to 44 is increasing,” she told Fox News Digital. “But this is also a cancer that has the potential to be eradicated, if not eliminated, because we know the understanding of HPV and their prevalence in the disease.”
HPV (Human Papillomavirus infection), the most common cause of cervical cancer, can be detected by testing.

“We have innovation and technology that should lower certain cervical cancer rates,” said Shepherd.
3. Some communities do not have access to healthcare
The ACS report showed that Indians and black people continue to die with higher percentages than white people for different cancers.
Among patients of cervical cancer, the death rate in black women and Indian women is 50% and 70% higher than in white women.
The five -year relative survival percentage for cervical cancer in black women is 58% compared to 67% of white women, the report showed.

This discrepancy in the death rate is most likely due to a lack of access to doctors and regular screening, added Shepherd, which insisted on more research, consciousness and public education.
“Cervical cancer can be prevented by screening with the porridge plus HPV and co-testing,” she said. “If we had the ability to have more potential early detection, then we could see abnormalities in cells … Before the cancer comes and take the time to tackle it.”
4. Gi -diagnoses of cancer worsening
Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, such as pancreas, liver, colorectal and stomach cancer, are all considered very deadly.
The ACS report noted that colorectal diagnoses in men and women younger than 65 have continued to increase.
Between 2012 and 2021, the incidence of colorectal cancer increased every year by 2.4% in people younger than 50 and by 0.4% per year in adults 50 to 64.
According to ACS, diagnoses of colorectal cancer in men and women under the age of 65 have continued to increase. (Istock)
The progress against pancreatic cancer also follows other cancers, according to the report, as the incidence and death rates increase by 1% in men and women every year.
The ACS noted that in 2025 an estimated 67,440 new cases of pancreatic cancer will be diagnosed in the US and 51,980 people will die.

The death rate for pancreatic cancer has increased by 0.2% every year to 0.3% in men and women, and the five -year -old relative survival percentage is 13%, which Strauss described as “gloomy”.
Oberstein, a GI specialist, noted that these types of cancers ‘often have very poor results’, although there have been some improvements in early detection and treatment in recent decades.

“The biggest advantage we have seen in terms of mortality comes from earlier detection from GI cancers,” he told Fox News Digital, adding that colon cancer has the best results when they are detected early.

“But we really have to double on trying to detect stomach cancer, liver cancer and especially pancreatic cancer to make a big difference,” said Oberstein.
