The 1999–2007 United States Cancer Statistics (USCS): Incidence and Mortality Web-based

Release of 1999–2007 United States Cancer Statistics: Incidence and Mortality Web-based Report



The 1999–2007 United States Cancer Statistics (USCS): Incidence and Mortality Web-based Report marks the ninth time that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have jointly produced official federal cancer incidence statistics for each state having high-quality cancer data. The report is produced in collaboration with the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries.

This year's report features information on more than one million invasive cancer cases diagnosed during 2007 among residents of 49 states, six metropolitan areas, and the District of Columbia—geographic areas in which about 99% of the U.S. population resides. Incidence data are from CDC's National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) and NCI's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program. Data from population-based central cancer registries in these states and metropolitan areas meet the selected criteria for inclusion in this report.

The report also provides cancer mortality data collected and processed by CDC's National Center for Health Statistics. Mortality statistics, based on records of deaths that occurred during 2007, are available for all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The 1999–2007 USCS: Incidence and Mortality Web-based Report exemplifies the progress achieved in creating a national system of cancer surveillance. We especially want to acknowledge the continued efforts and commitment of local and state cancer registries to providing high-quality cancer incidence data. Regional and state-level data can be used to plan and evaluate cancer control programs, conduct research, and monitor cancer trends.
National partner organizations also are crucial to the success of cancer surveillance in the United States. This publication, and many advances in cancer surveillance in the United States, would not have been possible without the tireless efforts and many achievements of these organizations.
