Lower Annual rate does'nt equal cure as we all know there is no cure for any cancer. In USA cancer patient may survive extra 6 months longer, but at what cost? As there re no free lunches what re the tradeoffs and what re we not treating ex: 47+ millions lacking insurance. Also dont fotget we spend 2.2 Trillion on our health care(?)and per capita our spending is almost twice as any other country. Are'nt we 38 th or so any healt care stats?

USA has a younger population than those European centers, ergo lower cancer rate, ergo lower death rate. Has nada to do with health care. Let's look at similar populations - i.e. Canada vs. USA. In Canada people have longer lifespan and lower infant mortality than USA. That is a fact.
