Number of Cancer New Cases and Registered Deaths by Ten Leading Cancer Disease Group by Sex 2022

Cancer was responsible for around *** deaths per 100,000 population in the United States in 2023. The death rate for cancer has steadily decreased since the 1990’s, but cancer still remains the second leading cause of death in the United States. The deadliest type of cancer for both men and women is cancer of the lung and bronchus which will account for an estimated ****** deaths among men alone in 2025. Probability of surviving Survival rates for cancer vary significantly depending on the type of cancer. The cancers with the highest rates of survival include cancers of the thyroid, prostate, and testis, with five-year survival rates as high as ** percent for thyroid cancer. The cancers with the lowest five-year survival rates include cancers of the pancreas, liver, and esophagus. Risk factors It is difficult to determine why one person develops cancer while another does not, but certain risk factors have been shown to increase a person’s chance of developing cancer. For example, cigarette smoking has been proven to increase the risk of developing various cancers. In fact, around ** percent of cancers of the lung, bronchus and trachea among adults aged 30 years and older can be attributed to cigarette smoking. Other modifiable risk factors for cancer include being obese, drinking alcohol, and sun exposure.

Introduction

Cancer Statistics: Cancer continues to be a major global health challenge, with significant increases in both incidence and mortality. In 2022, there were an estimated 20 million new cancer cases and 9.7 million cancer-related deaths worldwide. The most common cancers included lung, breast, colorectal, prostate, and stomach cancers. The global cancer burden is projected to rise substantially, with estimates suggesting 35.3 million new cases and 18.5 million cancer-related deaths by 2050.

This increase is attributed to factors such as population growth, aging, and exposure to risk factors like tobacco use, obesity, and environmental pollutants. The economic impact of cancer is also profound, with direct medical costs in the United States alone reaching nearly $209 billion in 2020.

These statistics underscore the urgent need for enhanced prevention, early detection, and treatment strategies to address the growing cancer burden globally. The information is presented from a market researcher's point of view, incorporating the latest data and trends.

Number and rate of new cancer cases diagnosed annually from 1992 to the most recent diagnosis year available. Included are all invasive cancers and in situ bladder cancer with cases defined using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Groups for Primary Site based on the World Health Organization International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, Third Edition (ICD-O-3). Random rounding of case counts to the nearest multiple of 5 is used to prevent inappropriate disclosure of health-related information.

Age standardized rate of cancer incidence, by selected sites of cancer and sex, three-year average, census metropolitan areas.

In 2022, there were an estimated 2.48 million new cases of trachea, bronchus, and lung cancer worldwide. Breast cancer was the second most common cancer type at that time with around 2.3 million new cases worldwide.

Number of new cancer cases

Cancer can be caused by internal factors like genetics and mutations, as well as external factors such as smoking and radiation. It occurs in the presence of uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. However, many cancer cases could be prevented, for example, by omitting cigarette usage and heavy alcohol consumption. Risk of developing cancer tends to increase with age and is most common in older adults. Nevertheless, cancer can develop in individuals of any age. Cancer can be treated through surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, among other methods.

In the United States, there will be an estimated two million new cancer cases and 611,720 deaths in 2024. Among U.S. men, prostate cancer and lung and bronchus cancers are the most common cancer types as of 2024, totaling an estimated 299,010 and 116,310 cases, respectively. In women, breast cancer and lung and bronchus cancer are the most common newly diagnosed types, totaling 310,720 and 118,270 cases, respectively.

Annual percent change and average annual percent change in age-standardized cancer incidence rates since 1984 to the most recent diagnosis year. The table includes a selection of commonly diagnosed invasive cancers, as well as in situ bladder cancer. Cases are defined using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Groups for Primary Site based on the World Health Organization International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, Third Edition (ICD-O-3) from 1992 to the most recent data year and on the International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision (ICD-9) from 1984 to 1991.

Number and rate of new cancer cases by stage at diagnosis from 2011 to the most recent diagnosis year available. Included are colorectal, lung, breast, cervical and prostate cancer with cases defined using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Groups for Primary Site based on the World Health Organization International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, Third Edition (ICD-O-3). Random rounding of case counts to the nearest multiple of 5 is used to prevent inappropriate disclosure of health-related information.

The Get Data Out programme from the National Disease Registration Service publishes detailed statistics about small groups of cancer patients in a way that ensures patient anonymity is maintained. The Get Data Out programme currently covers 15 cancer sites. This data release updates the incidence data for all 15 sites to cover 2013-2020 (previous data covered 2013-2019) and also adds new cancer sites ‘Liver and biliary tract’, 'Haematological malignancies' and 'Haematological malignancy transformations'. The 18 cancer sites now covered by Get Data Out are: ‘Bladder, Urethra, Renal Pelvis and Ureter’, ‘Bone cancer’, ‘Brain, meningeal and other primary CNS tumours’, ‘Eye cancer’, 'Haematological malignancies', 'Haematological malignancy transformations', ‘Head and neck’, ‘Kaposi sarcoma’, ‘Kidney’, 'Liver and Biliary tract', ‘Oesophageal and Stomach’, ‘Ovary, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal carcinomas’, ‘Pancreas’, ‘Prostate’, ‘Sarcoma’, ‘Skin tumours’, ‘Soft tissue and peripheral nerve cancer’, ‘Testicular tumours including post-pubertal teratomas’. Anonymisation standards are designed into the data by aggregation at the outset. Patients diagnosed with a certain type of tumour are divided into many smaller groups, each of which contains approximately 100 patients with the same characteristics. These groups are aimed to be clinically meaningful and differ across cancer sites. For each group of patients, Get Data Out routinely publish statistics about incidence, routes to diagnosis, treatments and survival. All releases and documentation are available on the Get Data Out main technical page. Before using the data, we recommend that you read the guide for first time users. The data is available in an open format for anyone to access and use. We hope that by releasing anonymous detailed data like this we can help researchers, the public and patients themselves discover more about cancer. If you have feedback or any other queries about Get Data Out, please email us at NDRSenquires@nhs.net and mention 'Get Data Out' in your email.

About this dataset

In the following maps, the U.S. states are divided into groups based on the rates at which people developed or died from cancer in 2013, the most recent year for which incidence data are available.

The rates are the numbers out of 100,000 people who developed or died from cancer each year.

Incidence Rates by State
The number of people who get cancer is called cancer incidence. In the United States, the rate of getting cancer varies from state to state.

• *Rates are per 100,000 and are age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population.

• ‡Rates are not shown if the state did not meet USCS publication criteria or if the state did not submit data to CDC.
