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 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.

How to use the dataset

This dataset provides comprehensive US county-level cancer mortality and incidence rates from 2000 to 2014. It includes the mortality and incidence rate for each county, as well as whether the county met the objective of 45.5 deaths per 100,000 people. It also provides information on recent trends in death rates and average annual counts of cases over the five year period studied.

This dataset can be extremely useful to researchers looking to study trends in cancer death rates across counties. By using this data, researchers will be able to gain valuable insight into how different counties are performing in terms of providing treatment and prevention services for cancer patients and whether preventative measures and healthcare access are having an effect on reducing cancer mortality rates over time. This data can also be used to inform policy makers about counties needing more target prevention efforts or additional resources for providing better healthcare access within at risk communities.

When using this dataset, it is important to pay close attention to any qualitative columns such as “Recent Trend” or “Recent 5-Year Trend (2)” that may provide insights into long term changes that may not be readily apparent when using quantitative variables such as age-adjusted death rate or average deaths per year over shorter periods of time like one year or five years respectively. Additionally, when studying differences between different counties it is important to take note of any standard FIPS code differences that may indicate that data was collected by a different source with a difference methodology than what was used in other areas studied

Research Ideas

• Using this dataset, we can identify patterns in cancer mortality and incidence rates that are statistically significant to create treatment regimens or preventive measures specifically targeting those areas.
• This data can be useful for policymakers to target areas with elevated cancer mortality and incidence rates so they can allocate financial resources to these areas more efficiently.
• This dataset can be used to investigate which factors (such as pollution levels, access to medical care, genetic make up) may have an influence on the cancer mortality and incidence rates in different US counties

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.

Annual percent change and average annual percent change in age-standardized cancer mortality rates since 1984 to the most recent data year. The table includes a selection of commonly diagnosed invasive cancers and causes of death are defined based on the World Health Organization International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision (ICD-9) from 1984 to 1999 and on its tenth revision (ICD-10) from 2000 to the most recent year.

Layers in this service includes: Birth, Cancer, Hospitalization Discharge, Mortality and STI Rates, as well as Demographics.

This release summarises the survival of adults diagnosed with cancer in England between 2016 and 2020 and followed to 2021, and children diagnosed with cancer in England between 2002 and 2020 and followed to 2021. Adult cancer survival estimates are presented by age, deprivation, gender, stage at diagnosis, and geography.

Cancer survival statistics are typically expressed as the proportion of patients alive at some point subsequent to the diagnosis of their cancer. Statistics compare the survival of patients diagnosed with cancer with the survival of people in the general population who are the same age, race, and sex and who have not been diagnosed with cancer.

Exploring County-Level Correlations in Cancer Rates and Trends

A Multivariate Ordinary Least Squares Regression Model

By Noah Rippner [source]

About this dataset

This dataset offers a unique opportunity to examine the pattern and trends of county-level cancer rates in the United States at the individual county level. Using data from cancer.gov and the US Census American Community Survey, this dataset allows us to gain insight into how age-adjusted death rate, average deaths per year, and recent trends vary between counties – along with other key metrics like average annual counts, met objectives of 45.5?, recent trends (2) in death rates, etc., captured within our deep multi-dimensional dataset. We are able to build linear regression models based on our data to determine correlations between variables that can help us better understand cancers prevalence levels across different counties over time - making it easier to target health initiatives and resources accurately when necessary or desired

This statistic displays the five-year survival rate in children with diagnosed cancer, by selected locations, time periods, and type of cancer. In Australia, children with leukaemias had a five-year chance of survival of over 80 percent in the measured period 1997-2006. In comparison, Chinese children with leukaemias in Shanghai had a chance of little more than 50 percent to survive five years (measured in the period 2002-2005).

This bulletin presents the latest one- and five-year age-standardised net survival estimates for adults (aged 15-99 years) diagnosed in England with one of the 21 most common cancers. These cancers comprise over 90% of all newly diagnosed cancers.

BackgroundThe 5-year survival rate of cancer patients is the most commonly used statistic to reflect improvements in the war against cancer. This idea, however, was refuted based on an analysis showing that changes in 5-year survival over time bear no relationship with changes in cancer mortality.MethodsHere we show that progress in the fight against cancer can be evaluated by analyzing the association between 5-year survival rates and mortality rates normalized by the incidence (mortality over incidence, MOI). Changes in mortality rates are caused by improved clinical management as well as changing incidence rates, and since the latter can mask the effects of the former, it can also mask the correlation between survival and mortality rates. However, MOI is a more robust quantity and reflects improvements in cancer outcomes by overcoming the masking effect of changing incidence rates. Using population-based statistics for the US and the European Nordic countries, we determined the association of changes in 5-year survival rates and MOI.ResultsWe observed a strong correlation between changes in 5-year survival rates of cancer patients and changes in the MOI for all the countries tested. This finding demonstrates that there is no reason to assume that the improvements in 5-year survival rates are artificial. We obtained consistent results when examining the subset of cancer types whose incidence did not increase, suggesting that over-diagnosis does not obscure the results.ConclusionsWe have demonstrated, via the negative correlation between changes in 5-year survival rates and changes in MOI, that increases in 5-year survival rates reflect real improvements over time made in the clinical management of cancer. Furthermore, we found that increases in 5-year survival rates are not predominantly artificial byproducts of lead-time bias, as implied in the literature. The survival measure alone can therefore be used for a rough approximation of the amount of progress in the clinical management of cancer, but should ideally be used with other measures.

Cancer diagnoses and age-standardised incidence rates for all types of cancer by age and sex including breast, prostate, lung and colorectal cancer.

As of January 1, 2025 there were around *** million women in the U.S. who had been diagnosed with breast cancer and had survived. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women in the U.S., however, cancer of the lung and bronchus accounts for the most cancer-related deaths among women.

This dataset contains data about lung cancer Mortality. This database is a comprehensive collection of patient information, specifically focused on individuals diagnosed with cancer. It is designed to facilitate the analysis of various factors that may influence cancer prognosis and treatment outcomes. The database includes a range of demographic, medical, and treatment-related variables, capturing essential details about each patient's condition and history.

Key components of the database include:

Demographic Information: Basic details about the patients such as age, gender, and country of residence. This helps in understanding the distribution of cancer cases across different populations and regions.

Medical History: Information about each patient’s medical background, including family history of cancer, smoking status, Body Mass Index (BMI), cholesterol levels, and the presence of other health conditions such as hypertension, asthma, cirrhosis, and other cancers. This section is crucial for identifying potential risk factors and comorbidities.

Cancer Diagnosis: Detailed data about the cancer diagnosis itself, including the date of diagnosis and the stage of cancer at the time of diagnosis. This helps in tracking the progression and severity of the disease.

Treatment Details: Information regarding the type of treatment each patient received, the end date of the treatment, and the outcome (whether the patient survived or not). This is essential for evaluating the effectiveness of different treatment approaches.

The structure of the database allows for in-depth analysis and research, making it possible to identify patterns, correlations, and potential causal relationships between various factors and cancer outcomes. It is a valuable resource for medical researchers, epidemiologists, and healthcare providers aiming to improve cancer treatment and patient care.
