The average life expectancy in the United States
has increased more than 12 years since 1963, and
the growth rate has been even more pronounced
in the last decade. The leading cause of this
elongated life expectancy lies in advances of
science, technology, and specialized biologic
medication. Properly prescribed drugs have
turned once fatal diseases like certain forms of
cancer into manageable illnesses.

Breast cancer and cervical cancer, when caught
in the earliest stages, have cure rates of 98% and
100% respectively. Thanks to advances in testing
and treatment, these common forms of cancer
among women have been all but cured; and
further investment in technology and medicine
will save thousands of lives every year. Skin
cancer is another common form of the disease
which is 100% curable. As technology and science
allow, more and more forms of cancer and other
fatal diseases will become easier to detect and
treat successfully.
