A new report from the American Cancer Society‘s Cancer Action Network says most states - including Indiana - are falling far short in the battle against cancer.
The report, now in its 12th year, says 75% of states aren‘t making progress in passing or strengthening policies that aid in addressing cancer issues.
The report says almost 36,000 Hoosiers will be diagnosed with cancer this year and about 13,000 of them will die from it.
Government Relations Director Brianna Herndon says Indiana scored well in only one of 12 benchmarks.
