Leading Causes of Cancer Deaths in the United States

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, responsible for more fatalities than colorectal, breast, and pancreatic cancers combined. The top five causes of cancer mortality are:

  1. Lung cancer
  2. Colorectal cancer
  3. Pancreatic cancer
  4. Breast cancer
  5. Prostate cancer

Early detection through screening (e.g., low-dose CT for high-risk lung cancer patients, colonoscopy for colorectal cancer) and lifestyle modifications (smoking cessation, healthy diet, regular exercise) can reduce risk and improve outcomes.
