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).

In 2022, Kentucky reported the highest cancer incidence rate in the United States, with around 512 new cases of cancer per 100,000 inhabitants. This statistic represents the U.S. states with the highest cancer incidence rates per 100,000 population in 2022.

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.

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of applying a method of estimating the incidence of cancer to regions of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, from real data (not estimated) and retrospectively comparing the results obtained with the official estimates. A method based on mortality and on the incidence to mortality (I/M) ration was used according to sex, age, and tumor location. In the I/M numerator, new cases of cancer were used from the population records of Jaú and São Paulo from 2006-2010; in the denominator, deaths from 2006-2010 in the respective areas, extracted from the national mortality system. The estimates resulted from the multiplication of I/M by the number of cancer deaths in 2010 for each region. Population data from the 2010 Demographic Census were used to estimate incidence rates. For the adjustment by age, the world standard population was used. We calculated the relative differences between the gross incidence rates estimated in this study and the official ones. Age-adjusted cancer incidence rates were 260.9/100,000 for men and 216.6/100,000 for women. Prostate cancer was the most common in males, whereas breast cancer was most common in females. Differences between the rates of this study and the official rates were 3.3% and 1.5% for each sex. The estimated incidence was compatible with the officially presented state profile, indicating that the application of real data did not alter the morbidity profile, while it did indicate different risk magnitudes. Despite the over-representativeness of the cancer registry with greater population coverage, the selected method proved feasible to point out different patterns within the state.

Population based cancer incidence rates were abstracted from National Cancer Institute, State Cancer Profiles for all available counties in the United States for which data were available. This is a national county-level database of cancer data that are collected by state public health surveillance systems. All-site cancer is defined as any type of cancer that is captured in the state registry data, though non-melanoma skin cancer is not included. All-site age-adjusted cancer incidence rates were abstracted separately for males and females. County-level annual age-adjusted all-site cancer incidence rates for years 2006–2010 were available for 2687 of 3142 (85.5%) counties in the U.S. Counties for which there are fewer than 16 reported cases in a specific area-sex-race category are suppressed to ensure confidentiality and stability of rate estimates; this accounted for 14 counties in our study. Two states, Kansas and Virginia, do not provide data because of state legislation and regulations which prohibit the release of county level data to outside entities. Data from Michigan does not include cases diagnosed in other states because data exchange agreements prohibit the release of data to third parties. Finally, state data is not available for three states, Minnesota, Ohio, and Washington. The age-adjusted average annual incidence rate for all counties was 453.7 per 100,000 persons. We selected 2006–2010 as it is subsequent in time to the EQI exposure data which was constructed to represent the years 2000–2005. We also gathered data for the three leading causes of cancer for males (lung, prostate, and colorectal) and females (lung, breast, and colorectal). The EQI was used as an exposure metric as an indicator of cumulative environmental exposures at the county-level representing the period 2000 to 2005. A complete description of the datasets used in the EQI are provided in Lobdell et al. and methods used for index construction are described by Messer et al. The EQI was developed for the period 2000– 2005 because it was the time period for which the most recent data were available when index construction was initiated. The EQI includes variables representing each of the environmental domains. The air domain includes 87 variables representing criteria and hazardous air pollutants. The water domain includes 80 variables representing overall water quality, general water contamination, recreational water quality, drinking water quality, atmospheric deposition, drought, and chemical contamination. The land domain includes 26 variables representing agriculture, pesticides, contaminants, facilities, and radon. The built domain includes 14 variables representing roads, highway/road safety, public transit behavior, business environment, and subsidized housing environment. The sociodemographic environment includes 12 variables representing socioeconomics and crime.
