Bruce Dunbar: Lung cancer is still the number 1 cancer killer

Bruce Dunbar, Patient and Research Advocate, shared a post by Balazs Halmos Associate Director for Clinical Science at Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center, on X:

“Good news on progress, but lung cancer is still the number 1 cancer killer. Research has made a difference, continued investment is vital.”

Quoting Balazs Halmos‘s post:

“Cancer statistics, 2025 Some lung cancer observations:
1. Continued nice decrease in LC incidence/death rates
2. BUT probably 1st time in history of cancer stats- more cases in women than men
3. AND finally we no longer can say – “lung cancer causes more deaths than prostate/breast/colon cancer combined”- amazing progress.

(Lung cancer- 124730- colon/breast/prostate- 130840)”
