United States Cancer Statistics
The 1999–2012 United States Cancer Statistics (USCS): Incidence and Mortality Web-based Report
includes the official federal statistics on cancer incidence from
registries that have high-quality data, and cancer mortality statistics.
It is produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
and the National Cancer Institute (NCI). This report shows that in 2012,
1,529,078 Americans received a new diagnosis of invasive cancer, and
582,607 Americans died of this disease (these estimates do not include in situ cancers or the more than 1 million cases of basal and squamous cell skin cancers expected to be diagnosed).
This year’s report features
information on invasive cancer cases diagnosed during 2012 among
residents of 49 states, six metropolitan areas, and the District of
Columbia—geographic areas in which about 99% of the U.S. population
resides. Incidence data are from CDC’s National Program of Cancer
Registries (NPCR) and NCI’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results
(SEER) Program. Data from population-based central cancer registries in
these states and metropolitan areas meet the criteria for inclusion in
this report.
The report also provides cancer
mortality data collected and processed by CDC’s National Center for
Health Statistics. Mortality statistics, based on records of deaths that
occurred during 2012, are available for all 50 states and the District
of Columbia.
New Data Added to the Report
The report now includes—
- Five-year relative survival data for selected cancer sites by race, sex, and age group for 2001 through 2011.
- Incidence rates and counts for Puerto Rico for 2008 through 2012 by sex and age, as well brain tumor and childhood cancer data.
USCS data are presented in the following applications—
