January 14, 2026- The American Cancer Society (ACS) released Cancer Statistics, 2026, the organization’s annual report on cancer facts and trends. The new findings show, for the first time, the five-year relative survival rate for all cancers combined reached 70% for people diagnosed during 2015-2021 in the United States. Survival gains since the mid-1990s are especially notable for people diagnosed with more fatal cancers, such as myeloma (from 32% to 62%), liver cancer (7% to 22%), and lung cancer (15% to 28%). These important findings are published today in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, the flagship journal of ACS, alongside its consumer-friendly companion, Cancer Facts & Figures 2026, available on cancer.org.
