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.

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.

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.

It is estimated that in 2025 there will be a total of 226,650 new cases of lung and bronchus cancer in the United States. The highest number of these cases are estimated to be in the state of Florida. This statistic presents the estimated number of new lung and bronchus cancer cases in the United States in 2025, by state.

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).

Number and rate of new cancer cases by stage at diagnosis from 2011 to the most recent diagnosis year available. Included are colorectal, lung, breast, cervical and prostate 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.

It is estimated that around 280,000 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in Spain during 2023, of which 160,000 are expected in men and 120,000 in women. Breast cancer is expected to be the type with the highest incidence in the country, with more than 35,000 new cases estimated for 2023, followed by lung and prostate cancer with 31,282 and 29,002 cases, respectively.

Cancer-related deaths

In 2021, cancer was responsible for approximately 114,000 deaths in Spain. Lung and bronchial cancer caused the highest number of cancer deaths in the country, accounting for approximately 22,400 terminal cases. In fact, it was the fourth main cause of death overall, only after COVID-19, coronary artery disease (CAD), and cerebrovascular disease. Lung cancer is highly associated with smoking and is therefore among the most preventable diseases.

Most common types of cancer worldwide

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women in the world. In 2020, around a quarter of all new cancer cases within this group was attributed to breast cancer. Colorectum and lung cancer followed, accounting for 9.4 and 8.4 percent of all new cancer cases among women that year, respectively. In comparison, lung cancer was the most common type of cancer among men, with a share of 14.3 percent. Prostate cancer followed closely, with 14.1 percent.

Cancer was responsible for around 142 deaths per 100,000 population in the United States in 2022. 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 65,790 deaths among men alone in 2024. 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 99 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 81 percent of cancers of the lung, bronchus and trachea among adults aged 30 years and older can be attributed to cigarette smoking. A recent poll indicated that many U.S. adults believed smoking cigarettes and using other tobacco products increased a person’s risk of developing cancer, but a much smaller percentage believed the same for proven risk factors such as obesity and drinking alcohol.

In 2024, the number of ****** cancer cases among women in Japan reached approximately ******, which made it the most common type of cancer for women. The estimated total number of cancer cases for Japanese women in that year amounted to almost 421,000. Most common types of cancer in Japan Following breast cancer, colon and rectum, lung, as well as stomach were the most frequently diagnosed cancer sites among women in Japan. In contrast, prostate cancer was the most frequently diagnosed cancer among men, followed by stomach, colon and rectum, and lung cancer.Different types of cancer rank among the most common causes of death among Japanese people. In terms of cancer-related mortality among women in Japan, lung cancer claimed the highest number of lives in recent years, followed by pancreatic cancer.  Prevention and treatment of breast cancer In recent years, colon, cervix, lung, breast, and stomach were the most common cancer sites for screening in Japan. This was supported by a survey from 2023, in which over 36 percent of Japanese women stated that they had a cancer screening in the past two years.More attention has been given to breast cancer treatment as the incidence of breast cancer in Japan has grown throughout the past decades. Consequently, the number of general hospitals equipped with breast surgery departments increased as well.The early detection of breast cancer is crucial to increase the chance of survival. The primary approach to breast cancer treatment involves surgical removal of the cancer, though preoperative drug therapy may be administered based on the cancer's condition.

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 rates

Incidence 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

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.

Annual percent change and average annual percent change in age-standardized cancer incidence rates since 1984 to the most recent diagnosis year. The table includes a selection of commonly diagnosed invasive cancers, as well as in situ bladder cancer. Cases are 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) from 1992 to the most recent data year and on the International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision (ICD-9) from 1984 to 1991.

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has considerably affected healthcare systems worldwide and is expected to influence cancer incidence, mortality, stage at diagnosis, and survival. This study aimed to assess COVID-19-related changes in cancer incidence observed in 2020 in the Greater Poland region.Materials and methodsData from the Greater Poland Cancer Registry on cancer patients diagnosed between 2010 and 2020 were analysed. To quantify the change in the number of incident cancer cases during the COVID-19 pandemic, we calculated the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) and the incidence rate difference (IRD) to assume the pandemic-attributable gap in cancer incidence.ResultsIn 2020, in Greater Poland, the expected number of new cancer cases was 18 154 (9 226 among males and 8 927 among females), while the observed number was 14 770 (7 336 among males and 7 434 among females). The registered number of cancer cases decreased in 2020 by 20% (SIR 0·80, 95% CI 0·78 to 0·81) and 17% (SIR 0·83, 95% CI 0·81 to 0·85) in males and females, respectively. Among men, the most significant difference was reported for myeloma (SIR 0·59, 95% CI 0·45 to 0·77), among women for bone cancer (SIR 0·47, 95% CI 0·20 to 0·93). In females the observed incidence was higher than expected for cancer of an unspecified site (SIR 1·19, 95% CI 1·01 to 1·38). In our study, the decrease in new cancer cases was greater in males than in females.DiscussionThe observed incidence was affected in most cancer sites, with the most significant deviation from the expected number in the case of myeloma. An increase in the observed incidence was reported only in women diagnosed with cancer of an unspecified site, which might reflect shortages in access to oncological diagnostics.

BackgroundThe role of breast screening in breast cancer mortality declines is debated. Screening impacts cancer mortality through decreasing the number of advanced cancers with poor diagnosis, while cancer treatment works through decreasing the case-fatality rate. Hence, reductions in cancer death rates thanks to screening should directly reflect reductions in advanced cancer rates. We verified whether in breast screening trials, the observed reductions in the risk of breast cancer death could be predicted from reductions of advanced breast cancer rates.Patients and MethodsThe Greater New York Health Insurance Plan trial (HIP) is the only breast screening trial that reported stage-specific cancer fatality for the screening and for the control group separately. The Swedish Two-County trial (TCT)) reported size-specific fatalities for cancer patients in both screening and control groups. We computed predicted numbers of breast cancer deaths, from which we calculated predicted relative risks (RR) and (95% confidence intervals). The Age trial in England performed its own calculations of predicted relative risk.ResultsThe observed and predicted RR of breast cancer death were 0.72 (0.56–0.94) and 0.98 (0.77–1.24) in the HIP trial, and 0.79 (0.78–1.01) and 0.90 (0.80–1.01) in the Age trial. In the TCT, the observed RR was 0.73 (0.62–0.87), while the predicted RR was 0.89 (0.75–1.05) if overdiagnosis was assumed to be negligible and 0.83 (0.70–0.97) if extra cancers were excluded.ConclusionsIn breast screening trials, factors other than screening have contributed to reductions in the risk of breast cancer death most probably by reducing the fatality of advanced cancers in screening groups. These factors were the better management of breast cancer patients and the underreporting of breast cancer as the underlying cause of death. Breast screening trials should publish stage-specific fatalities observed in each group.

This database encompasses several files related to cancer data. The first file is an Excel spreadsheet, containing information on newly diagnosed cancer cases from 2014 to 2017. It provides demographic details and specific characteristics of 482,229 cancer patients. We categorized this data according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reporting rules, and cancers with greater incidence rates were identified. To create a geodatabase, individual data was integrated at the county level and combined with population data. Files 2 and 3 contain gender-specific spatial data for the top cancer types and non-melanoma skin cancer. Each file includes county identifications, the number of cancer cases for each cancer type per year, and gender-specific population information. Lastly, there is a user's guide file to help navigate through the data files.
