In contrast, colorectal cancer incidence patterns are generally similar in men and women, with the rapid declines noted during the 2000s in the wake of widespread colonoscopy uptake appearing to taper in more recent years. Incidence continues to increase for cancers of the kidney, pancreas, liver and oral cavity and pharynx (among non-Hispanic whites) and melanoma of the skin.

Stagnant survival rates for these cancers largely refl ect a lack of major treatment advances for patients with recurrent and metastatic disease. “The accelerated drops in lung cancer mortality as well as in melanoma that we’re seeing are likely due at least in part to advances in cancer treatment over the past decade, such as immunotherapy,” said the American Cancer Society’s Chief Medical and Scientifi c Offi cer, William G. Cance. “They are a profound reminder of how rapidly this area of research is expanding, and now leading to real hope for cancer patients.” sion of the Salem State University Northeast Regional Educators Hall of Fame is to honor and recognize exemplary leaders, past and present, in the fi eld of education for their dedication, contributions and service to their profession.
