Cancer Statistics
Cancer has a major impact on society in the United States and across the
world. Cancer statistics describe what happens in large groups of
people and provide a picture in time of the burden of cancer on society.
Statistics tell us things such as how many people are diagnosed with
and die from cancer each year, the number of people who are currently
living after a cancer diagnosis, the average age at diagnosis, and the
numbers of people who are still alive at a given time after diagnosis.
They also tell us about differences among groups defined by age, sex,
racial/ethnic group, geographic location, and other categories.
