You have to consider that a lot of cancers are hitting people in old age, so thats why I posted a happy feel good child survival statistics first

Cancer is still brutal, and we can't pretend its not. But we've come a long way and the most exciting research is happening these last 10 years because of some major advances in technology, none of least is of course genetics which is responsible for so many of our biggest hopes of finally putting cancer in its place.
