Every year, the American Cancer Society publishes Cancer Facts & Figures, an annual report that shares where we are in the collective fight against cancer. Led by Dr. William Dahut, Chief Scientific Officer at the American Cancer Society, the 2024 report reveals the good news, like the reduction in overall cancer mortality; alongside some bad news, that a record two million people will be diagnosed with cancer this year.


In this Business Group on Health podcast, Dr. Dahut explains these key findings and more, including why cancer outcomes are improving, more effective approaches to screening, how artificial intelligence can help diagnose cancer sooner, and why these insights are so important for employers and employees alike.


Guest: William L. Dahut, MD, Chief Scientific Officer, American Cancer Society
