SEER Limited-Use cancer incidence data with associated population data. Geographic areas available are county and SEER registry. The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer Institute collects and distributes high quality, comprehensive cancer data from a number of population-based cancer registries. Data include patient demographics, primary tumor site, morphology, stage at diagnosis, first course of treatment, and follow-up for vital status. The SEER Program is the only comprehensive source of population-based information in the United States that includes stage of cancer at the time of diagnosis and survival rates within each stage.

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.

This table contains data described by the following dimensions (Not all combinations are available): Geography (158 items: Canada; Newfoundland and Labrador; Eastern Regional Health Authority, Newfoundland and Labrador; Central Regional Health Authority, Newfoundland and Labrador; ...);  Sex (3 items: Both sexes; Males; Females);  Selected sites of cancer (ICD-O-3) (5 items: All invasive primary cancer sites (including in situ bladder); Colon, rectum and rectosigmoid junction cancer; Bronchus and lung cancer; Female breast cancer; ...);  Characteristics (13 items: Number of new cancer cases; Cancer incidence (rate per 100,000 population); Low 95% confidence interval, cancer incidence (rate per 100,000 population); High 95% confidence interval, cancer incidence (rate per 100,000 population); ...).

In 2021, there were around 158 new cases of breast cancer per 100,000 population in the state of Connecticut, making it the state with the highest breast cancer incidence rate that year. This statistic shows the incidence rate of breast cancer in the U.S. in 2021, by 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.

BackgroundThe nationwide HUN-CANCER EPI study examined cancer incidence and mortality rates in Hungary from 2011 to 2019.MethodsUsing data from the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) and Hungarian Central Statistical Office (HCSO), our retrospective study analyzed newly diagnosed malignancies between Jan 1, 2011, and Dec 31, 2019. Age-standardized incidence and mortality rates were calculated for all and for different tumor types using both the 1976 and 2013 European Standard Populations (ESP).FindingsThe number of newly diagnosed cancer cases decreased from 60,554 to 56,675 between 2011–2019. Age-standardized incidence rates were much lower in 2018, than previously estimated (475.5 vs. 580.5/100,000 person-years [PYs] in males and 383.6 vs. 438.5/100,000 PYs in females; ESP 1976). All-site cancer incidence showed a mean annual decrease of 1.9% (95% CI: 2.4%-1.4%) in men and 1.0% (95% CI:1.42%-0.66%) in women, parallel to mortality trends (-1.6% in males and -0.6% in females; ESP 2013). In 2018, the highest age-standardized incidence rates were found for lung (88.3), colorectal (82.2), and prostate cancer (62.3) in men, and breast (104.6), lung (47.7), and colorectal cancer (45.8) in women. The most significant decreases in incidence rates were observed for stomach (4.7%), laryngeal (4.4%), and gallbladder cancers (3.5%), with parallel decreases in mortality rates (3.9%, 2.7% and 3.2%, respectively).InterpretationWe found a lower incidence of newly diagnosed cancer cases for Hungary compared to previous estimates, and decreasing trends in cancer incidence and mortality, in line with global findings and the declining prevalence of smoking.

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.

Medical Service Study Areas (MSSAs)As defined by California's Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) in 2013, "MSSAs are sub-city and sub-county geographical units used to organize and display population, demographic and physician data" (Source). Each census tract in CA is assigned to a given MSSA. The most recent MSSA dataset (2014) was used. Spatial data are available via OSHPD at the California Open Data Portal. This information may be useful in studying health equity.Age-Adjusted Incidence Rate (AAIR)Age-adjustment is a statistical method that allows comparisons of incidence rates to be made between populations with different age distributions. This is important since the incidence of most cancers increases with age. An age-adjusted cancer incidence (or death) rate is defined as the number of new cancers (or deaths) per 100,000 population that would occur in a certain period of time if that population had a 'standard' age distribution. In the California Health Maps, incidence rates are age-adjusted using the U.S. 2000 Standard Population.Cancer incidence ratesIncidence rates were calculated using case counts from the California Cancer Registry. Population data from 2010 Census and SEER 2015 census tract estimates by race/origin (controlling to Vintage 2015) were used to estimate population denominators. Yearly SEER 2015 census tract estimates by race/origin (controlling to Vintage 2015) were used to estimate population denominators for 5-year incidence rates (2013-2017)According to California Department of Public Health guidelines, cancer incidence rates cannot be reported if based on <15 cancer cases and/or a population <10,000 to ensure confidentiality and stable statistical rates.Spatial extent: CaliforniaSpatial Unit: MSSACreated: n/aUpdated: n/aSource: California Health MapsContact Email: gbacr@ucsf.eduSource Link: https://www.californiahealthmaps.org/?areatype=mssa&address=&sex=Both&site=AllSite&race=&year=05yr&overlays=none&choropleth=Obesity
