Princess Kate's cancer diagnosis at age 42 shines a light on dreaded disease that seems to be striking people of younger ages, although it has become more survivable, the USA Today website reports today (March 24, 2024).
Americans have about a 40% chance of developing cancer at some point in their lives. Just under 20% who develop it die from cancer, which is the second leading cause of death in the U.S.
It is typically considered a disease of aging, with 88% of diagnoses coming in people age 50 and above, according to the American Cancer Society.
