In 2022, female breast cancer was the type of alcohol-associated cancer with the highest incidence in the United States, with a rate of nearly 138 per 100,000 people. This graph shows the rate of alcohol-related cancers per 100,000 people in the United States in 2022, by cancer type.

BackgroundThe success of the “war on cancer” initiated in 1971 continues to be debated, with trends in cancer mortality variably presented as evidence of progress or failure. We examined temporal trends in death rates from all-cancer and the 19 most common cancers in the United States from 1970–2006.Methodology/Principal FindingsWe analyzed trends in age-standardized death rates (per 100,000) for all cancers combined, the four most common cancers, and 15 other sites from 1970–2006 in the United States using joinpoint regression model. The age-standardized death rate for all-cancers combined in men increased from 249.3 in 1970 to 279.8 in 1990, and then decreased to 221.1 in 2006, yielding a net decline of 21% and 11% from the 1990 and 1970 rates, respectively. Similarly, the all-cancer death rate in women increased from 163.0 in 1970 to 175.3 in 1991 and then decreased to 153.7 in 2006, a net decline of 12% and 6% from the 1991 and 1970 rates, respectively. These decreases since 1990/91 translate to preventing of 561,400 cancer deaths in men and 205,700 deaths in women. The decrease in death rates from all-cancers involved all ages and racial/ethnic groups. Death rates decreased for 15 of the 19 cancer sites, including the four major cancers, with lung, colorectum and prostate cancers in men and breast and colorectum cancers in women.Conclusions/SignificanceProgress in reducing cancer death rates is evident whether measured against baseline rates in 1970 or in 1990. The downturn in cancer death rates since 1990 result mostly from reductions in tobacco use, increased screening allowing early detection of several cancers, and modest to large improvements in treatment for specific cancers. Continued and increased investment in cancer prevention and control, access to high quality health care, and research could accelerate this progress.

The rate of liver cancer diagnoses in the United States increases with age. As of 2022, those aged 80 to 84 years had the highest rates of liver cancer. Risk factors for liver cancer include smoking, drinking alcohol, being overweight or obese, and having diabetes. Who is most likely to get liver cancer? Liver cancer in the United States is much more common among men than women. In 2022, there were 12 new liver cancer diagnoses among men per 100,000 population, compared to just five new diagnoses per 100,000 women. Concerning race and ethnicity, non-Hispanic American Indians and Alaska Natives and Hispanics have the highest rates of new liver cancer diagnoses. The five-year survival rate for liver cancer in the United States is around 22 percent; however, this rate is much higher among non-Hispanic Asian and Pacific Islanders than other races and ethnicities. Non-Hispanic Asian and Pacific Islanders have a 33 percent chance of surviving the next five years after a liver cancer diagnosis. Deaths from liver cancer In 2023, there were an estimated 29,911 deaths in the United States due to liver cancer. However, the death rate for liver cancer has remained stable over the past few years. In 2023, the death rate for liver cancer was 6.6 deaths per 100,000 population. It is estimated that in 2025, there will be over 19,000 liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer deaths among men in the United States and 10,800 such deaths among women.

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.

IntroductionSociodemographic disparities in genitourinary cancer-related mortality have been insufficiently studied, particularly across multiple cancer types. This study aimed to investigate gender, racial, and geographic disparities in mortality rates for the most common genitourinary cancers in the United States.MethodsMortality data for prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular cancers were obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) WONDER database between 1999 and 2020. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) were analyzed by year, gender, race, urban–rural status, and geographic region using a significance level of p < 0.05.ResultsOverall, AAMRs for prostate, bladder, and kidney cancer declined significantly, while testicular cancer-related mortality remained stable. Bladder and kidney cancer AAMRs were 3–4 times higher in males than females. Prostate cancer mortality was highest in black individuals/African Americans and began increasing after 2015. Bladder cancer mortality decreased significantly in White individuals, Black individuals, African Americans, and Asians/Pacific Islanders but remained stable in American Indian/Alaska Natives. Kidney cancer-related mortality was highest in White individuals but declined significantly in other races. Testicular cancer mortality increased significantly in White individuals but remained stable in Black individuals and African Americans. Genitourinary cancer mortality decreased in metropolitan areas but either increased (bladder and testicular cancer) or remained stable (kidney cancer) in non-metropolitan areas. Prostate and kidney cancer mortality was highest in the Midwest, bladder cancer in the South, and testicular cancer in the West.DiscussionSignificant sociodemographic disparities exist in the mortality trends of genitourinary cancers in the United States. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and further research to address these disparities and improve outcomes for all populations affected by genitourinary cancers.

ObjectiveBreast cancer (BC) is one of the most common cancers globally, placing a significant social burden. This study estimates the BC burden in the U.S. from 1990 to 2021 and projects future trends for the next 15 years.MethodsUsing data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study, we analyzed four measures: prevalence, incidence, death, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), stratified by sex, age, U.S. states, and socio-demographic index (SDI).ResultsBC burden in the U.S. has decreased, with reductions in age-standardized rates of prevalence, incidence, mortality, and DALYs for both sexes. The overall age-standardized prevalence rate dropped from 695.0 (653.5–741.5)/100,000 in 1990 to 556.0 (525.2–584.7)/100,000 in 2021. The ASIR declined from 68.3 (65.1–70.3)/100,000 to 51.7 (48.4–54.1)/100,000. Death rates fell from 15.9 (14.9–16.5)/100,000 to 9.4 (8.5–9.9)/100,000, while DALYs decreased from 485.1 (462.9–507.0)/100,000 to 277.4 (260.1–294.8)/100,000 over the same period. Burden varies by state and SDI: in 2021, low-SDI states, Kentucky and Louisiana had the highest prevalence and incidence, while Louisiana and Mississippi had the highest mortality. Projections suggest a continued downward trend through 2036.ConclusionsBC burden in the U.S. decreased overall, but disparities persist across sex, age groups, and states with varying SDI levels. Addressing risk factors and improving healthcare access are essential to further reduce BC burden.

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.

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.

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.

This is a linked dataset between drinking water data and cancer data. Drinking Water Data: County-level concentrations of arsenic from CWSs between 2000 and 2010 were collected from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network (NEPHTN) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018a). Annual mean drinking water arsenic concentrations from 2000 to 2010 were available for a total of 87,662 samples from 75,453 CWS from 26 states, representing 1,425 counties. For samples identified as non-detects, the most frequently reported values were 0.5 ppb and 1 ppb, with a range of 0 ppb to 10 ppb. For non-detect samples reported as zero, the value was substituted with a constant of 0.25 ppb (Almberg et al., 2017; Bulka et al., 2016). Of the samples that were reported as non-detects, 10.87% were reported as zeros. Cancer Data: County-level cancer counts and incidence rates for bladder, colorectal, and kidney cancers were acquired from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and CDC’s State Cancer Profiles for 2011 through 2015 for adults (age ≥ 50) to match the counties with exposure data (National Cancer Institute and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018a). We utilized the time period 2011-2015 to provide a lag following the exposure period of 2000-2010. The State Cancer Profiles provide age-adjusted county-level cancer incidence, prevalence, mortality rates and average annual counts for 20 different types of cancers and select demographics (National Cancer Institute and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018b). Counties where there were less than 16 reported cases in a specific county, sex, and/or race category were suppressed to ensure confidentiality and stability of rate estimates (National Cancer Institute and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018a). This dataset is associated with the following publication: Krajewski, A., M. Jimenez, K. Rappazzo, D. Lobdell, and J. Jagai.

Market Dynamics of the Lung Cancer Therapeutics

Key Drivers of the Lung Cancer Therapeutics

The strong prevalence of lung cancer is notably driving market growth.

One of the most prevalent forms of cancer is lung cancer. Several reasons, including the aging population and lifestyle changes, have contributed to a notable increase in the number of new instances of cancer, particularly lung cancer, in recent years. In the United States, 6.2% of the population is at risk of developing lung cancer. Lung cancer still has a very high death rate, even with recent declines in the rate, which presents a market potential for suppliers. The market is anticipated to expand over the forecast period as a result of the high disease incidence rate and the rising number of drug approvals. • For instance, according to the 2022 report by the American Lung Association, while the disease remains the leading cause of cancer deaths among women and men, the survival rate over the past five years has increased from 21% nationally to 25% yet remains significantly lower among communities of color at 20%. Hence, the increasing prevalence of cancer and the need for effective treatment is likely to contribute to market growth. (Source:https://www.lung.org/research/state-of-lung-cancer/key-findings)

Rising pollution due to rapid industrialization increases the incidences of lung cancer

Air pollution (outdoor and indoor particulate matter and ozone) is closely linked to the rising prevalence of heart disease and strokes, lung cancer, lower respiratory infections, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The Global Burden of Disease Study Report (2019) ranks air pollution as the third leading cause of death worldwide. Globally, air pollution is responsible for 6.82 million deaths annually, of which 33% are caused by interior pollution and 66% by outdoor pollution. • For instance, According to the conference organized by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM), ‘Lung Cancer- Awareness, Prevention, Challenges & Treatment’, air pollution is the leading cause of the rise of lung cancer in the country. Around 63 out of the 100 most polluted places on earth belong to India.

Restraints of the Lung Cancer Therapeutics

Regional disparities in treatment will hamper the market for lung cancer therapeutics

Lung cancer is the most prevalent cause of cancer-related deaths globally, and its impact is particularly felt in lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where access to early and effective diagnosis and treatment is often restricted. WHO data show that whereas 90% of cancer patients in high-income countries have access to therapy, only roughly 30% of cancer patients in low-income countries do. There are numerous products involved in the procedure of lung cancer therapeutics, which makes it costlier. Furthermore, the high maintenance cost of the i...

Introduction

The Global Cancer Vaccine Market is projected to reach approximately USD 48.6 billion by 2033, rising from USD 10.2 billion in 2023. This expansion is expected to occur at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.9% from 2024 to 2033. Several key factors are contributing to this rapid growth. The rising global burden of cancer continues to drive demand for effective prevention strategies. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women, with 90% of related deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries. This highlights the urgent need for accessible and preventive measures such as vaccines.

Technological advancements have significantly accelerated the cancer vaccine landscape. The success of mRNA vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased research in mRNA-based cancer vaccines. These vaccines are designed to stimulate the immune system to identify and destroy cancer cells. In the United Kingdom, the Cancer Vaccine Launch Pad aims to deliver personalized mRNA cancer vaccines to over 10,000 patients by 2030. This initiative uses genomic sequencing technologies and existing vaccine infrastructure to support rapid development and implementation.

Governmental programs are also playing a crucial role in promoting vaccine research and distribution. In the United States, the Cancer Moonshot 2.0 initiative aims to reduce cancer mortality by 50% over the next 25 years. This includes funding for early detection technologies, equitable access to treatment, and faster development of innovative therapies. Similarly, in India, the launch of Cervavac, the country’s first indigenous HPV vaccine, marks a major step toward affordable cancer prevention. Priced between INR 300–400 per dose, Cervavac is now part of the national immunization program and targets the reduction of cervical cancer deaths.

Personalized medicine is further transforming the cancer vaccine market. Advances in genomic profiling have enabled the development of individualized cancer vaccines. These vaccines target specific mutations within a person’s tumor, allowing for more precise and effective treatment. Currently, several of these personalized vaccines are undergoing clinical trials, showing promising outcomes. This trend aligns with the growing focus on precision oncology, where treatments are tailored based on a patient’s genetic and molecular profile.

Lastly, efforts to close the global gap in vaccine access are gaining momentum. WHO reports indicate a major disparity in HPV vaccine coverage—only 41% of low-income countries have adopted it in their immunization schedules, compared to 83% of high-income countries. Global initiatives are now focusing on improving vaccine accessibility and affordability, particularly in under-resourced regions. This drive toward equity is essential for the broader success of global cancer prevention strategies.

US Tariff Impact on Cancer Vaccine Market

The U.S. government’s proposed tariffs on pharmaceutical imports are expected to significantly impact the cancer vaccine market. These changes may affect drug pricing, manufacturing stability, and research innovation. A proposed 25% tariff on pharmaceutical imports may increase cancer treatment costs. Some estimates suggest treatment costs could rise by as much as $10,000 for a 24-week course. Cancer vaccines that rely on imported ingredients or formulations would be especially affected. These cost hikes may limit patient access to new vaccines. Healthcare providers may also face pressure to adjust pricing structures. Such challenges could lead to reduced adoption of advanced therapeutic options in the U.S. market.

The U.S. depends on imports for over 70% of its active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). These APIs mostly come from China and India. If tariffs are enforced, the supply chain may face disruptions. Shortages in API supplies could delay production timelines. Manufacturers may struggle to meet demand or face increased production costs. This instability may affect the timely delivery of cancer vaccines. As a result, public health outcomes could be compromised if treatment access becomes inconsistent or unaffordable.

Higher operational costs from tariffs could reduce budgets for innovation. Pharmaceutical companies may be forced to shift R&D funding to manage tariffs. This may hinder the development of next-generation cancer vaccines, including mRNA-based platforms. To mitigate these risks, firms are taking strategic actions. For example, Roche plans to invest $50 billion in U.S. production. Such moves aim to localize manufacturing and avoid tariff-related costs. These strategies can support long-term market resilience and ensure cancer vaccine progress continues.

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men and affects 1 in 9 men in the United States. Early screening for prostate cancer often involves monitoring levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and performing digital rectal exams. However, a prostate biopsy is always required for definitive cancer diagnosis. The Early Detection Research Network (EDRN) is a consortium within the National Cancer Institute aimed at improving screening approaches and early detection of cancers. As part of this effort, the Weill Cornell EDRN Prostate Cancer has collected and biobanked specimens from men undergoing a prostate biopsy between 2008 and 2017. In this report, we describe blood metabolomics measurements for a subset of this population. The dataset includes detailed clinical and prospective records for 580 patients who underwent prostate biopsy, 287 of which were subsequentially diagnosed with prostate cancer, combined with profiling of 1,482 metabolites from plasma samples collected at the time of biopsy. We expect this dataset to provide a valuable resource for scientists investigating prostate cancer metabolism.

Prostate Cancer Diagnostics and Therapy Market Outlook

As of 2023, the global Prostate Cancer Diagnostics and Therapy market size was estimated at approximately USD 15 billion, with a forecasted growth to USD 30 billion by 2032, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8%. This robust market expansion is propelled by technological advancements in diagnostics and therapies, increasing prevalence of prostate cancer, and growing awareness among men about regular health screenings.

One of the key growth factors of the prostate cancer diagnostics and therapy market is the advancement in diagnostic technologies. Innovations such as multiparametric MRI, next-generation sequencing, and advanced biomarker tests have significantly improved the early detection and accurate staging of prostate cancer. These technologies not only enhance the precision of diagnosis but also reduce the need for invasive procedures, thereby increasing patient compliance. Additionally, the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning in diagnostic imaging is expected to further accelerate market growth by providing more accurate and early detection capabilities.

Another significant driver is the increasing prevalence of prostate cancer worldwide. As the global population ages, the incidence of prostate cancer is expected to rise, particularly in developed regions where life expectancy is higher. According to the World Health Organization, prostate cancer is among the most common cancers diagnosed in men, representing a substantial burden on healthcare systems. This growing prevalence necessitates more effective and efficient diagnostic and therapeutic solutions, driving the demand in the market. Additionally, lifestyle factors such as diet, obesity, and sedentary habits are contributing to the increasing incidence, further spurring the need for advanced diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Moreover, rising awareness and proactive health screening initiatives are playing a crucial role in market growth. Governments and healthcare organizations worldwide are implementing awareness campaigns to educate men about the importance of early detection and regular prostate cancer screenings. Initiatives like Movember and other public health campaigns have significantly raised awareness, leading to increased screening rates and early diagnosis, which are critical for successful treatment outcomes. This heightened awareness is driving demand for advanced diagnostic tests and effective therapies, contributing to market expansion.

Geographically, North America is expected to dominate the prostate cancer diagnostics and therapy market due to high healthcare expenditure, advanced healthcare infrastructure, and a higher prevalence of prostate cancer. The United States, in particular, has a well-established healthcare system that supports the adoption of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. Europe follows closely, with countries like Germany, France, and the UK showing significant market growth driven by robust healthcare systems and high awareness levels. The Asia Pacific region is anticipated to exhibit the highest growth rate during the forecast period, driven by improving healthcare infrastructure, increasing healthcare spending, and rising awareness about prostate cancer.

Diagnostic Type Analysis

The segment analysis of diagnostic types for prostate cancer includes PSA Tests, Biopsy, Imaging, and Others. PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) tests are one of the most widely used initial screening tools for prostate cancer. These tests measure the level of PSA in the blood, with higher levels indicating a potential presence of prostate cancer. The simplicity and cost-effectiveness of PSA tests make them a common choice for initial screening, driving their substantial market share. However, the specificity of PSA tests is sometimes questioned, leading to further diagnostic procedures such as biopsies.

Biopsies remain the gold standard for definitive diagnosis of prostate cancer. This invasive procedure involves the removal of prostate tissue samples, which are then analyzed for cancerous cells. Recent advancements in biopsy techniques, such as MRI-guided biopsies, have enhanced the accuracy and reduced the discomfort associated with the procedure. These innovations are driving the growth of the biopsy segment, as they provide more precise diagnostic information, which is crucial for planning appropriate therapeutic interventions. The increasing use of targeted biopsies is expected to further boost this segment’s growth.

BackgroundCervical cancer incidence and mortality rates in the United States have substantially declined over recent decades, primarily driven by reductions in squamous cell carcinoma cases. However, the trend in recent years remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the trends in cervical cancer incidence and mortality, stratified by demographic and tumor characteristics from 1975 to 2018.MethodsThe age-adjusted incidence, incidence-based mortality, and relative survival of cervical cancer were calculated using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-9 database. Trend analyses with annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC) calculations were performed using Joinpoint Regression Software (Version 4.9.1.0, National Cancer Institute).ResultsDuring 1975–2018, 49,658 cervical cancer cases were diagnosed, with 17,099 recorded deaths occurring between 1995 and 2018. Squamous cell carcinoma was the most common histological type, with 34,169 cases and 11,859 deaths. Over the study period, the cervical cancer incidence rate decreased by an average of 1.9% (95% CI: −2.3% to −1.6%) per year, with the APCs decreased in recent years (−0.5% [95% CI: −1.1 to 0.1%] in 2006–2018). Squamous cell carcinoma incidence trends closely paralleled overall cervical cancer patterns, but the incidence of squamous cell carcinoma in the distant stage increased significantly (1.1% [95% CI: 0.4 to 1.8%] in 1990–2018). From 1995 to 2018, the overall cervical cancer mortality rate decreased by 1.0% (95% CI: −1.2% to −0.8%) per year. But for distant-stage squamous cell carcinoma, the mortality rate increased by 1.2% (95% CI: 0.3 to 2.1%) per year.ConclusionFor cervical cancer cases diagnosed in the United States from 1975 to 2018, the overall incidence and mortality rates decreased significantly. However, there was an increase in the incidence and mortality of advanced-stage squamous cell carcinoma. These epidemiological patterns offer critical insights for refining cervical cancer screening protocols and developing targeted interventions for advanced-stage cases.
