Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer, 1975-2011
The Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer, 1975-2011, is an update of rates for new cases, deaths and trends for the most common cancers in the United States. All rates in the report are per 100,000 people in the U.S. population.
Experts from the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR), the American Cancer Society (ACS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) jointly issue the Annual Report to the Nation.
The latest report was published online March 30, 2015, in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Major findings from the report include the following:
Key Points
- The report highlights the period from 1975-2011 to provide the best perspective on long-term trends in cancer incidence (new cases) and mortality (death) rates for all races combined.
- Researchers found continued declining mortality rates for men, women, and children.
- The incidence rate of thyroid cancer is increasing among both men and women, as well as the mortality rate for liver cancer.
- The incidence rate of oral/oropharyngeal cancers is increasing among white men despite a decline in oral cancers that are more closely associated with tobacco use.
- With a focus on breast cancer, the researchers used comprehensive national data on hormone receptor (HR) and HER2 status to determine the incidence of the four major molecular subtypes of breast cancer by age, race/ethnicity, poverty level, and several other factors.
- Moreover, researchers found unique racial/ethnic group-specific patterns by age, poverty level, geography, and by specific breast tumor characteristics.
