My aunt's friend recently passed away due to cancer, and it's just so heartbreaking. I was thinking about how common it must be globally. Do you know how many Americans die from cancer every year?

It is around 600,000 deaths annually in the US. Getting regular screening is the best way to prevent complications.

Such high statistics prove that we must take our lifestyle and health checks very seriously. Just like managing my blood pressure, keeping a tab on general health screenings after age 45 is vital.

Having survived a cancer diagnosis myself, I know how frightening these mortality numbers look. But please focus on the millions who survive and recover fully thanks to early detection and modern therapy.

Hearing these numbers can be very scary and cause panic, but remember that medical treatments have improved vastly now. Most cancers are highly curable if caught early, so try not to stress too much.

It is close to 6 lakh people every year, which sounds huge but cancer survival rates are also going up steadily every day! Staying positive and active keeps our immune system strong.
