In 2025, it was estimated that there would be over 972 thousand new cancer cases among women in the United States. This statistic illustrates the estimated number of new cancer cases and deaths in the United States for 2025, by gender.

In 2021, the death rate for cancer among youth in the United States aged 0 to 19 years was 2.1 per 100,000 youth. This was a decrease from the death rate of 2.75 per 100,000 recorded in the year 2001.

The United States Cancer Statistics (USCS) online databases in WONDER provide cancer incidence and mortality data for the United States for the years since 1999, by year, state and metropolitan areas (MSA), age group, race, ethnicity, sex, childhood cancer classifications and cancer site. Report case counts, deaths, crude and age-adjusted incidence and death rates, and 95% confidence intervals for rates. The USCS data are the official federal statistics on cancer incidence from registries having high-quality data and cancer mortality statistics for 50 states and the District of Columbia. USCS are produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI), in collaboration with the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR). Mortality data are provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), National Vital Statistics System (NVSS).

The graph illustrates the number of deaths from cancer in the United States over the period from 1999 to 2023. The x-axis represents the years, labeled with two-digit abbreviations from '99 to '23, while the y-axis displays the annual number of cancer-related deaths. Throughout this 25-year span, the number of deaths ranges from a minimum of 549,829 in 1999 to a maximum of 613,349 in 2023. The data shows a gradual increase in annual deaths over the years. Notably, the number surpassed 550,000 in 2000 with 553,080 deaths, reached 574,738 in 2010, and exceeded 600,000 in 2020 with 602,347 deaths. The figures continued to rise, culminating in the highest recorded number of 613,349 deaths in 2023.

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.

Users can download the data set and static graphs, tables and charts regarding cancers in the United States. Background The United States Cancer Statistics is web-based report created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in partnership with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR). The site contains cancer incidence and cancer mortality data. Specific information includes: the top ten cancers, state vs. national comparisons, selected cancers, childhood cancer, cancers grouped by state/ region, cancers gr ouped by race/ ethnicity and brain cancers by tumor type. User Functionality Users can view static graphs, tables and charts, which can be downloaded. Within childhood cancer, users can view by year and by cancer type and age group or by cancer type and racial/ ethnic group. Otherwise, users can view data by female, male or male and female. Users may also download the entire data sets directly. Data Notes The data sources for the cancer incidence data are the CD C's National Program for Cancer Registries (NPCR) and NCI's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Result (SEER). CDC's National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) collects the data on cancer mortality. Data is available for each year between 1999 and 2007 or for 2003- 2007 combined. The site does not specify when new data becomes available.

Users can access data about cancer statistics in the United States including but not limited to searches by type of cancer and race, sex, ethnicity, age at diagnosis, and age at death. Background Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database’s mission is to provide information on cancer statistics to help reduce the burden of disease in the U.S. population. The SEER database is a project to the National Cancer Institute. The SEER database collects information on incidence, prevalence, and survival from specific geographic areas representing 28 percent of the United States population. User functionality Users can access a variety of reso urces. Cancer Stat Fact Sheets allow users to look at summaries of statistics by major cancer type. Cancer Statistic Reviews are available from 1975-2008 in table format. Users are also able to build their own tables and graphs using Fast Stats. The Cancer Query system provides more flexibility and a larger set of cancer statistics than F ast Stats but requires more input from the user. State Cancer Profiles include dynamic maps and graphs enabling the investigation of cancer trends at the county, state, and national levels. SEER research data files and SEER*Stat software are available to download through your Internet connection (SEER*Stat’s client-server mode) or via discs shipped directly to you. A signed data agreement form is required to access the SEER data Data Notes Data is available in different formats depending on which type of data is accessed. Some data is available in table, PDF, and html formats. Detailed information about the data is available under “Data Documentation and Variable Recodes”.

The graph displays cancer mortality rates by gender in the United States from 1999 to 2023. The x-axis represents the years, labeled from '99 to '23, while the y-axis indicates the mortality rates per 100,000 population for males, females, and the total population. Over this 24-year span, male mortality rates declined from a high of 252.8 in 1999 to a low of 165.4 in 2023. Female mortality rates decreased from 167.2 in 1999 to 123.6 in 2023.
