The latest Mayo Clinic National Health Checkup details how Americans’ feel about medical progress in the U-S. Around 37-percent of those surveyed cited cancer as their number one health concern.

 

Mayo Clinic Dr. John Wald says there’s also now a 91-percent, five-year survival rate for all forms of breast cancer. Though Wald admits there’s still much to be done, the report shows about three quarters of those surveyed believe we’re making adequate advances in cancer, heart disease and diabetes.
