New Cancer Data Available: View More and Do More

For comprehensive cancer data, CDC is your go-to source. New U.S. Cancer Statistics data are available in an updated Data Visualizations tool and public use database. U.S. Cancer Statistics (USCS) are the official federal cancer statistics, providing the latest cancer information on the entire U.S. population. This data resource combines cancer registry data from CDC’s National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) and NCI’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program.  The Data Visualizations tool is an easy way to explore and use the latest USCS data. It includes interactive graphics and text explaining the data. You can create and export presentation-ready trend graphs, maps, and tables by state, county, and demographic characteristics.

The public use database includes cancer incidence and population data for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The de-identified data are available online, at no cost to researchers. With more than 26 million cases in the database and 16 years of data available (2001 to 2016), this is a rich source of data for generating publications, including research on cancer trends and rare cancers.
