Cancer deaths continue to decline, according to the nation's annual report.
According to the 2024 Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer, overall cancer death rates decreased steadily for both men and women from 2001 to 2022, even during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. From 2001 to 2013, men's overall cancer incidence, measured as the rate of new cancer diagnoses, decreased, then stabilized until 2021. Among women, overall cancer incidence increased slightly every year from 2003 through 2021, with the exception of 2020. Cancer, on April 21, 2025, published the study. Progress in reducing cancer deaths overall is largely the result of declines in both incidence and death rates for lung cancer and several other smoking-related cancers, the researchers noted. Over the past two decades, for instance, both male and female lung cancer new diagnoses and deaths have decreased. In the meantime, the prevalence of cancers linked to obesity has been rising. Cancers of the female uterus, pancreas, kidney, and liver are among these. During the study period, new breast cancer diagnoses gradually increased, but the overall death rate from breast cancer decreased, according to the report. Over the course of the study, cancer death rates for children decreased steadily, as did rates for adolescents and young adults, until recently, when the decline slowed and stabilized. From 2018 to 2022, cancer deaths decreased for each major racial and ethnic population group. The incidence of cancer among men in each major racial and ethnic population group remained stable from 2017 to 2021 (excluding 2020), but it increased among women in each major racial and ethnic population group. During the same time period, among men, incidence was highest in non-Hispanic Black men, whereas among women, incidence was highest in American Indian and Alaska Native women.

Anti-Trump protests 2025
Protests against Trump's return to the White House drew thousands of people to the nation earlier this month. It was much bigger than the demonstration on Saturday. At least 1,200 venues across 50 states hosted the event at the time. Thousands of people, primarily women, took to the streets of Washington two days before Donald Trump was sworn in as president. The People's March replaced the Women's March as the name of the event. Since 2017, it has been held on a regular basis. At the time, the organizers claimed that they were protesting "Trumpism." When Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton to become president in 2016, the People's March was held for the first time. The women then staged a demonstration the day after Trump was sworn in, to which thousands of people showed up.On Saturday, anti-Trump demonstrations took place all over the United States, with participants decrying the administration's immigration crackdown and mass shootings at government agencies. A rally in front of the White House and a demonstration in Massachusetts to commemorate the start of the Revolutionary War 250 years ago were among the events. Thomas Basford, 80, attended the battle reenactment with his daughter, partner, and two grandsons. He stated, "For American freedom, this is a very dangerous time." I wanted the boys to be aware of the country's history and the fact that sometimes we must fight for our freedom. People carried banners with slogans like "Fight hard, Harvard, fight hard" and "No fear, no hate, no ICE in our state" at events all over the country in opposition to the university's recent refusal to cede much of its power to the government.
