Between 2000 and 2022, cancer deaths grew from approximately 550,000 to over 610,000. That’s up 10.6%, well below the 36.3 % increase in new cancer cases between 2000 and 2021, indicating that improved screening and treatment techniques can help improve survival rates.
Advances in the ways that cancer is diagnosed and treated have increased the number of people who live for long periods of time after a cancer diagnosis. This report looks at trends in 5-year survival rates for cancer, a common timeframe used by statisticians to measure survival rates.
However, the age-standardized death rate from cancer has declined over time in many countries — due to improvements in diagnosis, research, medical advances, and public health efforts, as well as reductions in risk factors such as smoking and some cancer-causing pathogens.
As of January 2022, there were an estimated 18.1 million cancer survivors in the United States. The number of cancer survivors is projected to increase to 22.5 million by 2032. Approximately 40.5% of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetimes (based on 2017–2019 data).
These data are used to understand cancer rates and trends, support cancer research, measure progress in cancer control and prevention efforts, focus action on eliminating disparities, and improve cancer outcomes for all. In the United States in 2021, 1,777,566 new cancer cases were reported.
Population-based Cancer Survival Statistics Overview. Cancer survival is the proportion of patients alive at some point subsequent to the diagnosis of their cancer, or from some point post-diagnosis (conditional survival).
The American Cancer Society’s Cancer Statistics Center provides detailed statistics including: Estimated new cancer cases and deaths by sex, state, and cancer type in the current year; Current cancer incidence, mortality, and survival rates and trends for individual cancer sites
The Facts & Figures annual report provides: Estimated numbers of new cancer cases and deaths in 2021 (In 2021, there will be an estimated 1.9 million new cancer cases diagnosed and 608,570 cancer deaths in the United States.) Current cancer incidence, mortality, and survival statistics.
Over 78% of cancer survivors currently living in the United States are age 60 or older. 1. There are 623,405 people living with metastatic breast, prostate, lung, colorectal, or bladder cancer or metastatic melanoma in the United States, and that number is expected to increase to 693,452 by the year 2025. 2.
Enlarge Image. Overall cancer incidence rates for AYAs aged 15-39 increased an average of 0.9% per year between 2014 and 2018, and incidence rates were stable (neither increased nor decreased) for children aged 0-14 during that period. Among children aged 0-14, the incidence rate for all cancer sites combined was 17.8 cases per 100,000 persons.
