"The US Cancer Statistics Data Visualizations tool provides quick access to data for researchers, clinicians, policy makers, and public health professionals. New data have been added, and the tool’s layout has been redesigned to improve navigation, data-sharing options, and visual displays.
The changes are described below.
Data are grouped under six new headings across the top of the website. These new headings are:
- At a Glance:
- An overview of new cancer case counts and rates.
- Death counts and rates.
- Leading cancer sites statistics.
- Statistics for American Indian and Alaska Native populations, specifically non-Hispanic American Indian and Alaska Native people living in Indian Health Service Purchase/Referred Care Delivery Area (PRCDA) counties.
- Childhood cancer statistics.
- Geography: Cancer data by state, county, and congressional district and for Puerto Rico.
- Trends: Cancer trends in dynamic maps for the overall United States and by state.
- Stage/Survival/Prevalence:– Cancer stage data, 5-year relative survival, and limited duration prevalence by specific type of cancer, race, ethnicity, and age group.
- Screening and Risk factors: Cancer screening and risk factor data from CDC’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
- Special Analysis: Data for brain cancer that uses the standard histology groupings of the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States and for other cancers grouped by associated risk factors, such as alcohol use, obesity, and tobacco use..."
