Why Is the Number of Cancer Survivors Increasing?

The number of cancer survivors is increasing and it's estimated to be about 12 million people in the United States as of today. Cancer is generally an ilness of an aging population and we are all aging and we are also better at detecting cancer when earlier and we have better treatments for many cancers which encourages people to go for the screening, so as we age, as we are looking for cancer more and as we are doing better in treatment, more people are showing up for cancer treatment and the number of survivors is increasing all the time.
