Cancer survival rates soar nationwide, but L.A. doctors warn cultural and educational barriers leave some behind

For all cancers, the five-year survival rate more than doubled since the mid-1990s, rising from 17% to 35%. This also signals a 34% drop in cancer mortality since 1991, translating to an estimated 4.8 million fewer cancer deaths between 1991 and 2023. These significant public health advances result from years of public investment in research, early detection and prevention, and improved cancer treatment, according to the report.
