Cancer death rates have dropped again among men, women, children and adolescents and young adults across demographics. The latest data comes from the ‘Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer’, which recently determined cancer death rates have declined from 2015 to 2019.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwideTrusted Source and the third most commonTrusted Source cancer type in the United States. The disease is often treatable when diagnosed in its early stages. So, experts are constantly working on new ways to detect lung cancer as early as possible so that people can receive prompt treatment.

Prostate cancer remains the second deadliest cancer for men despite clinical advancements. Currently, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is considered the most sensitive non-invasive imaging modality that enables visualisation, detection and localisation of prostate cancer, and is increasingly used to guide targeted biopsies for prostate cancer diagnosis. However, its utility remains limited due to high rates...

Source: A new device uses millimeter-wave imaging (the same technology used in airport security scanners) to scan a patient’s skin to detect if they have skin cancer. Millimeter-wave rays harmlessly penetrate about 2mm into human skin, so the team’s imaging technology provides a clear 3D map of scanned skin lesions.
