Forecasting cancer trends to optimize control strategies.

D T Janerich

    Journal of the National Cancer Institute
    |June 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cancer incidence in the US will nearly double in 40 years due to population trends. This, combined with rising treatment costs, will strain healthcare economics, necessitating strategic research investment in prevention and treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Demography
    • Health Economics

    Background:

    • Cancer incidence is projected to increase significantly in the United States over the coming decades.
    • Demographic shifts, including an aging population and past high birth rates, are key drivers of future cancer cases.
    • Rising costs of novel cancer treatments pose a substantial economic challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To forecast cancer occurrence trends in the US.
    • To analyze the economic implications of projected cancer trends and treatment costs.
    • To inform national strategies for research resource allocation.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized population projections for the United States.
    • Incorporated age-stratified cancer incidence rates.
    • Analyzed demographic factors influencing per capita healthcare costs.

    Main Results:

    • A near doubling of cancer cases is predicted within approximately 40 years.
    • Deteriorating per capita economic base expected due to population trends.
    • Increasing treatment technology costs will exacerbate economic burdens.

    Conclusions:

    • Cancer trend forecasting is crucial for effective national health planning.
    • Strategic allocation of research resources is needed between treatment development and primary prevention.
    • Proactive planning is essential to manage the future burden of cancer.
