Overall, about two-thirds of people in the United States who are diagnosed with cancer are still alive five years later. This is one of many statistics you can find in the updated Data Visualizations tool, an easy way to explore new U.S. Cancer Statistics data. U.S. Cancer Statistics are the official federal cancer statistics, providing information on the entire U.S. population.
These data can be used to find out what groups are affected most by cancer, measure progress in prevention efforts, and target actions to help improve cancer outcomes for all. They combine cancer registry data from CDC’s National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) and the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program.
- The Data Visualizations tool is an easy way to explore the data through interactive graphics and descriptive text. It includes incidence, mortality, survival, prevalence data and more.
- The public use database for researchers includes cancer incidence data for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. This year, a rural-urban county variable has been added. It includes more than 28 million cases diagnosed during 17 years (2001 to 2017).
