Although the number of new cases reported in the U.S. has mounted steadily, to an estimated 34,000 last year, they believe this was about the peak. Now they expect the number to decline steadily, so that within 20 years, Parkinson's should cease to be a major medical problem, though a few new cases will still occur...
