10%

Percentage reduction in cancer deaths expected in 2012 among European men, compared with 2007, the last year for which cancer death data exists for most E.U. countries; cancer deaths in women are expected to drop by 7% this year. The declines are due in part to falling smoking rates among men, and to advances in the prevention, detection and treatment of breast cancer in women. [via Reuters]
