Cancer incidence is stabilizing in men and increasing in women, but overall cancer death rates have declined significantly since 1991. Continued progress requires supporting research and applying existing cancer control strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The American Cancer Society (ACS) annually estimates cancer statistics in the U.S.
  • Data sources include the National Cancer Institute, CDC, North American Association of Central Cancer Registries, and National Center for Health Statistics.
  • This report utilizes incidence data through 2003 and mortality data through 2004.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the latest cancer statistics for the United States.
  • To analyze trends in cancer incidence, mortality, and survival.
  • To examine cancer statistics by demographic and geographic factors.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing national cancer incidence and mortality data.
  • Age-standardizing rates to the 2000 U.S. standard million population.

  • Analyzing trends by cancer site, sex, race/ethnicity, and geographic area.

    • Main Results:

    • Projected 1,444,920 new cancer cases and 559,650 deaths in 2007.
    • Stabilization of age-standardized incidence rates for all cancers in men (1995-2003).
    • A 0.3% annual increase in cancer incidence rates for women.
    • A 13.6% decrease in age-standardized cancer death rates (1991-2004).
    • Cancer remains a leading cause of death for individuals under 85.

    Conclusions:

    • Despite progress in reducing cancer mortality and improving survival, cancer remains a significant public health concern.
    • Further advancements in cancer control can be achieved through research support and broader application of existing knowledge.
    • Continued monitoring and analysis of cancer data are crucial for effective public health strategies.
