In 2014, the American Cancer Society estimated 1,665,540 new cancer cases and 585,720 cancer deaths in the United States. Over the past two decades, cancer death rates have steadily declined, with a 20% decrease from 215.1 to 171.8 deaths per 100,000 population. This decline has prevented approximately 1.34 million cancer deaths. The rate of decline varied by age, race, and sex, with the largest drops among black men. Cancer incidence rates have also declined slightly in men and remained stable in women over the past five years. The most common cancers in 2014 were prostate, lung, and colorectal in men, and breast, lung, and colorectal in women. Cancer survival rates have improved over the past 30 years, with the largest improvements in leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. However, survival rates among black individuals continue to lag behind those of white individuals. Cancer disparities by race and ethnicity are influenced by factors such as access to care, treatment, and socioeconomic status. Regional variations in cancer rates are also significant, with lung cancer showing the largest geographic variation. The data used for these estimates are based on population-based cancer incidence and mortality data from the National Cancer Institute, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries. The projections are model-based and may vary from year to year due to changes in methodology and surveillance coverage. The study highlights the importance of continued efforts to reduce cancer disparities and improve cancer control across all segments of the population.In 2014, the American Cancer Society estimated 1,665,540 new cancer cases and 585,720 cancer deaths in the United States.
