Here's 1975 compared to 2007, as you can see the situation is not changing much, this because the goal posts are in the wrong place, it's not in the interest of Big Pharma to cure Cancer, they would be shooting their industry in the feet.
"In 1975, the incidence rate for all cancers combined in the United States was 400 new cases for every 100,000 people in the population; the mortality rate was 199 deaths for every 100,000 persons. "
"In 2007, the latest year for which we have updated statistics, the U.S. incidence rate for all cancers combined was 461 new cases diagnosed for every 100,000 people in the population; the mortality rate was 178 deaths for every 100,000 persons."
