I would imagine they are with all the research and experimentation that has been done. I think people are more conscious of what they need to do to prevent cancer also.

If the research findings are well analysed, and based on a large population.. then it is a good news.. But how far these findings are accurate i don't know, because.. the studies here in India, does not show any dip in the cancer rate..

If its true then it is extremely good news. But are the percentage of new cancer cases coming down ? That is what is important for us to judge the success in of all the efforts being put in. Reduction in deaths may only be due to the new ways of treating and slowing down the rate of cancer spreading .

Good evening, dear academic friend. I think that it sounds a little bit reasonable that the cancer rate is reducing owing to people's awareness of education. So I think that it might be true. hehe. Good night, friend.
