Native Americans are more likely to die from certain cancers compared to other groups, with death rates from kidney, liver, stomach, and cervical cancers being two to three times higher than those of White people in the US.
This means that for people under 50, women get cancer more often than men—about 82% more often. This is mostly because breast and thyroid cancers are becoming more common in women, while cancer rates in men have actually gone down a little bit.
Fewer people in the U.S. are dying from cancer now than in the past, mainly because fewer people smoke, cancer is caught earlier, and treatments have gotten better.
For the first time in 2021, more women under 65 got lung cancer than men under 65, likely because women started smoking later and had a harder time quitting compared to men.
Uterine cancer deaths have been rising each year, and Black women are much less likely to survive it than White women, showing the biggest gap in survival between races for any common cancer.
