  "We've been having reports like this the last couple of years, but this is a bigger decline than ever," says Doctor Leslie Kohman of University Hospital.Experts say screenings like mammograms and colonoscopies are more common but also point out that research works."The only reason improvements in treatment and survival have happened," Dr. Kohman stresses, "are because of research."Dr. Kohman is a thoracic oncologist at University Hospital.She treats patients with lung cancer, which has the highest death rate of all the types of cancer.Dr. Kohman says messages against smoking are heard and more quitters are not dying from the disease, including here in Central New York."We mirror the national rates fairly well.New York State has had a dramatic drop in its smoking rate since the smoking ban," Dr. Kohman says."Men especially are truly stopping cigarettes.We have a little ways to catch up with women and children and teens of course haven't gotten the message yet."There is bad news in the report.It's been widely known more African Americans die from cancer, but now statistics show Native Americans and Alaskan natives are not benefiting from the medical improvements.Many people say the reason why is an issue of access."We have so many of our citizens who are unable to take advantage of advances in prevention and early detection and treatment because they do not have appropriate financial coverage," Dr. Kohman says.She is sure more people will survive cancer in the years to come, but says two key things are needed to keep death rates down.Dr. Kohman would like to see more equal access to health care and wants funding for cancer research to stop being cut.
