President Donald Trump insinuated in a tweet on Thursday that his administration played a role in the US cancer death rate hitting a record low in 2017. The American Cancer Society says that's not true.
US cancer death rate sees largest-ever single-year drop, report saysTrump's tweet appeared to be referring to the findings of an American Cancer Society report released on Wednesday, which said the rate of people dying from cancer in the United States declined in 2017 for the 26th year in a row. Trump took office in January 2017. The report, published in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, said that the cancer death rate had fallen"continuously" from 1991 through 2017.
— Donald J. Trump January 9, 2020 Read MoreGary M. Reedy, chief executive officer of the American Cancer Society and American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, told CNN that the 2017 findings are not connected to the actions of the Trump administration.
— Debbie Wasserman Schultz January 9, 2020 Dr. Charles Fuchs, director of the Yale Cancer Center in New Haven, Connecticut, previously told CNN that the new American Cancer Society report highlights both the significant progress made in reducing cancer deaths and the areas where more work needs to be done.
"The bottom line is that this report is great news," Fuchs said."I don't want to overlook that fact, nor do I want to minimize that fact," he said."This report demonstrates extraordinary progress in our battle against cancer in terms of detection, improving treatment, improving mortality, improving screening technologies -- and given that tremendous success, I'm excited about the opportunity to work toward even more improvements.
