Each year, the American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates the number of new cancer cases and deaths expected in the United States in the current year and compiles the most recent data on cancer incidence, mortality, and survival based on incidence data from the National Cancer Institute, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries and mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics. This report considers incidence data through 2003 and mortality data through 2004. Incidence and death rates are age‐standardized to the 2000 US standard million population. A total of 1,444,920 new cancer cases and 559,650 deaths for cancers are projected to occur in the United States in 2007. Notable trends in cancer incidence and mortality rates include stabilization of the age‐standardized, delay‐adjusted incidence rates for all cancers combined in men from 1995 through 2003; a continuing increase in the incidence rate by 0.3% per year in women; and a 13.6% total decrease in age‐standardized cancer death rates among men and women combined between 1991 and 2004. This report also examines cancer incidence, mortality, and survival by site, sex, race/ethnicity, geographic area, and calendar year, as well as the proportionate contribution of selected sites to the overall trends. While the absolute number of cancer deaths decreased for the second consecutive year in the United States (by more than 3,000 from 2003 to 2004) and much progress has been made in reducing mortality rates and improving survival, cancer still accounts for more deaths than heart disease in persons under age 85 years. Further progress can be accelerated by supporting new discoveries and by applying existing cancer control knowledge across all segments of the population.

癌症统计，2007

每年，美国癌症协会 (ACS) 都会估计本年度美国预期的新癌症病例和死亡人数，并根据美国国家癌症协会的发病率数据汇编有关癌症发病率、死亡率和生存率的最新数据。研究所、疾病控制和预防中心以及北美中央癌症登记协会和国家卫生统计中心的死亡率数据。本报告考虑了 2003 年的发病率数据和 2004 年的死亡率数据。发病率和死亡率按年龄标准化为 2000 年美国标准百万人口。预计 2007 年美国将有 1,444,920 例新癌症病例和 559,650 例癌症死亡。癌症发病率和死亡率的显着趋势包括年龄标准化、1995 年至 2003 年男性所有癌症的延迟调整发病率；女性发病率每年持续增加 0.3%；1991 年至 2004 年间，男性和女性的年龄标准化癌症死亡率总共下降了 13.6%。 本报告还按地点、性别、种族/民族、地理区域和日历年检查了癌症的发病率、死亡率和存活率，以及选定地点对总体趋势的相应贡献。虽然美国的癌症死亡绝对人数连续第二年下降（2003 年至 2004 年减少了 3,000 多人），并且在降低死亡率和提高生存率方面取得了很大进展，但癌症的死亡人数仍高于心脏病85岁以下的人。
