A new report found that the number of people surviving cancer is at a historic high. The new findings published by the American Cancer Society found that the five-year-survival rate for all cancers has reached 70% for the first time. That's up from just half in the mid 1970s. CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook breaks it down.
