Cancer deaths continue to drop, thanks largely to fewer smokers.
The American Cancer Society reports that cancer morality fell to 26%, down nearly 2% from the previous year's estimate.
The decline is a trend that began in 1991.
Experts say steady reductions in cigarette smoking are a big reason, as well as advances in earlier detection and cancer treatments.
The deadliest cancers remain lung, colorectal, breast, and prostate.
