The American Cancer Society’s “Cancer Facts and Figures 2026” report offers a snapshot of the nation’s latest cancer trends. Since 1951, the report has served as a benchmark for cancer surveillance in the United States and helps guide research and patient care at institutions such as City of Hope.
City of Hope Orange County’s experts are the perfect resource to put these findings into context for the community. Reveille was thrilled to offer commentary with City of Hope Orange County Physician-in-Chief and Vice Physician-in-Chief of City of Hope National Medical Center, Dr. Edward Kim, landing informative segments on KCAL/KCBS and KNX News. Dr. Kim discussed the report’s top takeaways, highlighting a historic milestone as the overall five-year cancer survival rate reaches 70 percent and continues to climb, reflecting decades of advances in detection and treatment.
