According to some estimates, around 150 people are diagnosed with cancer every hour in the United States. This should give you an answer as to how many people are diagnosed with cancer each year. The prospect of so many people being diagnosed with this deadly disease is quite frightening.One out of every four Americans is diagnosed with cancer in the US. In 2008, more than 565,650 people died as a result of cancer. This means that nearly 1,500 people died each day due to cancer. This clearly shows that cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US after heart disease. Many health experts and scientists believe that in 2010, cancer may end up becoming the main cause of death among Americans.
