Cancer deaths have declined in the U.S. for the second year in a row, suggesting that decades of research into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease are paying off.
A study by the American Cancer Society, released Wednesday, found that at least 3,000 fewer people died of cancer in 2004 than in 2003, a decrease that continues despite a population that's growing in numbers and in age.

Most of the people who were going to die of cancer have already died, so the death rate is now declining.
PS. It's now ok to smoke again.

Cancer patients have reason to be hopeful in the United States. For the second year in a row there is proof that all the research on cancer is paying off.
A study released from the American Cancer Society found that 3,000 fewer people died of cancer in 2004 than in 2003. This could lead to 3,000 more people being survivors in the future.
If these trends continue someday there will be a cure for cancer. We all need to appreciate the time and work our researchers and doctors have done to make it possible that cancer could be eliminated in our lifetime.

For the last two years cancer related deaths has declined. This may be because of decades of research that has gone into prevention, diagnosis and treatment and it is now paying off.
In 2004 compared to 2003, 3,000 fewer people died from cancer. This decrease continues inspite of the growing population of older people. These facts were obtained by the American Cancer Society.
Help yourself.

Research into cancer in the US, has shown that this disease in on the decline for the second year in continuation. Links in mortality have been attributed to the implementation of more preventative methods, early diagnosis and advancements in techniques used in the treatment of cancer.
The research came from a recent study by the American Cancer Society who claimed that the mortality rates have increased due to the decline in the rate of cancer,based on evidence from comparitive studies.
The latest statistics were based on figures taken from 2003 and 2004, and showed that the decrease in deaths from cancer also occurred in 2003/4 when the population increased, and numbers of senior citizens in the US was higher than average within the same time period.

ok
sort of like work but ok
For the past two years fewer people have died for cancer each year. Money and time spent on preventing and treating cancer are beginning to make a difference.
Recently, the AMerican Cancer Society unleashed a study that concludes that about 3000 fewer people died of cancer in 2004 than the previous year. That was true in spite of an aging population.

Not really. I mean, are you writing from the point of view of a specific character, or is this for school, or what? If it's for school, you should use "big" words, but you don't have to use words that are rarely used. If it's a specific character, just write how that person would talk.
