TL;DR: These results may underestimate the overall proportion of cancers attributable to modifiable factors, because the impact of all established risk factors could not be quantified, and many likely modifiable risk factors are not yet firmly established as causal.

TL;DR: Age-specific CRC risk has escalated back to the level of those born circa 1890 for contemporary birth cohorts, underscoring the need for increased awareness among clinicians and the general public, as well as etiologic research to elucidate causes for the trend.

TL;DR: Although blacks continue to have higher cancer death rates than whites, the disparity has narrowed and the racial gap in death rates has widened for all cancers combined in men and women and for lung and prostate cancers in men.

TL;DR: Overall cancer death rates declined faster in blacks than whites among both males and females, largely driven by greater declines for cancers of the lung, colorectum, and prostate, and the black‐white cancer disparity has been nearly eliminated in men <50 years and women ≥70 years.

TL;DR: Progress in reducing cancer morbidity and mortality among AYAs could be addressed through more equitable access to health care, increasing clinical trial enrollment, expanding research, and greater alertness among clinicians and patients for early symptoms and signs of cancer.
