The American Cancer Society reported earlier this year that the risk of dying from cancer in the United States has decreased by 32% over the past 28 years, which translates to almost 3.5 million fewer cancer deaths. Over these nearly three decades, cancer treatment options have increased immensely. For example, oral oncolytic medications now enable patients to receive therapies that target specific mutations in their tumors in pill form, replacing time-intensive chemotherapy infusions and minimizing side effects.  New technologies, such as genome testing and artificial intelligence, have sharpened our view of cancer.
