What the document says
“survivors, caregivers, medical professionals, and researchers have made tremendous strides in advancing treatment options and improving the quality of life for those affected by the disease”
The eighth of the section's eleven findings. It is the only one that credits a group of people rather than stating a figure about the disease.

What the document actually says
“survivors, caregivers, medical professionals, and researchers have made tremendous strides in advancing treatment options and improving the quality of life for those affected by the disease”

What this is about
The steps are better ways to treat it. They also help people live better with it.
