Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer
Jointly issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR), the American Cancer Society (ACS), and the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
The Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer is an update of rates for new cases and deaths as well as trends for the most common cancers in the United States. Part II of this report focuses on prostate cancer trends.
Part I provides long-term trends in cancer incidence rates (new cases) and mortality rates (deaths) for all races combined.
Researchers found continued declines in cancer mortality rates for men, women, and children.
Overall cancer incidence rates continued to decrease among men and remained stable among women.
Part II highlights recent changes in prostate cancer trends and disease characteristics, such as stage, clinical extension, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and Gleason score.
After a decrease in PSA test usage, incidence rates of late-stage disease increased and the decline in prostate cancer mortality stabilized.
