Projections of the Cost of Cancer Care in the United States: 2010–2020 — J. Natl. Cancer Inst.



excerpt/also see Table 5 for projection (cost) estimates:

Recent and Projected Incidence

For most of the cancer sites, incidence has been decreasing, and we estimated a negative annual percent change (Table 1) during the period 1996–2005. The largest decreases in men were for lung, stomach, and colorectal cancers, respectively, −2.72, −2.24, and −2.22 annual percent change in age-adjusted rates. More dramatic decreases were observed for women for ovarian and cervical cancer, −4.71 and −3.95, respectively, annual percent change in age-adjusted rates. Incidence of kidney cancer and melanoma has been increasing in both men and women, and incidence of lymphoma and brain cancer has been increasing in women (Table 1). Among the five major cancer sites, the largest decreases in incidence were observed for lung and colorectal cancers in men, −2.72 and −2.22, respectively, annual percent change in age-adjusted incidence rates (Figure 1; Similar figures for more cancer sites are available at http://costprojections.cancer.gov.).
