Despite the tremendous reduction of cancer deaths, the report outlines the numerous challenges. More than 600,000 people in the US are still expected to die from cancer this year and the number of new cases is expected to reach nearly 2.3 million by 2040.

Additionally, health disparities that affect ethnic and racial minorities and the barriers to health, such as limited health insurance coverage and living in rural areas, remains a major issue. In a recorded statement played at the news conference about the cancer report, Representative Nikema Williams (D-Georgia) said that following her mother’s death from cancer, she learned that, “health care in America is not a human right yet. We have two health care systems in this country: one for people who can afford preventative services and quality treatment and one for everyone else.”

Rep. Williams is a co-sponsor of Medicare for All legislation, which aims to improve access to quality health care in the US.

“Basic research discoveries have driven the remarkable advances that we’ve seen in cancer medicine in recent years,” said AACR President Lisa M. Coussens in a press release. “Targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and other new therapeutic approaches being applied clinically all stem from fundamental discoveries in basic science. Investment in cancer science, as well as support for science education at all levels, is absolutely essential to drive the next wave of discoveries and accelerate progress.”

The association also pointed to declines in smoking and better early cancer detection and treatments for the decrease.

Coussens also noted that between August 1 and July 31, of this year alone the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved eight anticancer therapeutics, expanded the use of 10 previously approved medications to treat new types of cancer, and approved two diagnostic imaging agents.

President Biden’s Cancer Moonshot initiative has a cornerstone of increasing funding for research. Biden lost his son Beau to brain cancer in 2015, and re-emphasized his goal is to cut cancer death rates in the United States by at least half in the next 25 years. The 2022 report urges Congress to fully fund and support Biden’s goal.

“The reignited Cancer Moonshot will provide an important framework to improve cancer prevention strategies; increase cancer screenings and early detection; reduce cancer disparities; and propel new lifesaving cures for patients with cancer. Actions will transform cancer care, increase survivorship, and bring lifesaving cures to the millions of people whose lives are touched by cancer,” the report says.
