More and more people are being diagnosed with thyroid cancer, but the survival rate for this cancer is not increasing. However, there is no need to panic. The survival rate for thyroid cancer has always been high, and technically, the survival rate is the number of survivors divided by the number of diagnoses. In fact, there is reason to believe that the increase in diagnoses is due almost entirely to new, more sensitive screening that detects tiny, non-lethal thyroid cancers that were previously missed. Thus, the survival rate is not increasing because __________________.
Which of the following most logically completes the journalist’s argument?
(A) the number of survivors is increasing at the same rate as the number of diagnoses
(B) the treatment for thyroid cancer has not improved significantly in recent years
(C) the tiny cancers detected by the new screening would never have been fatal even if left untreated
(D) the new screening methods are also detecting some lethal cancers at an earlier stage
(E) the number of people dying from thyroid cancer has increased in proportion to the number of diagnoses
