| Statistics for 2004 |
|
|
The ACS tracks cancer occurrence, including the number of deaths,
cases, and how long people survive after diagnosis. ACS also tracks data regarding
behaviors that influence the risk of developing cancer and the use of screening
tests.
Caution: It is very important to note that, beginning with the 2003 Cancer Facts &
Figures, the incidence and mortality data has been
age-adjusted to the 2000 population standard of the United States.
This change in method will affect the comparability of the new report's data with that of
previous years. The new approach will result in some dramatic changes in the rates of cancer
incidence and mortality, rates at different ages, magnitude of improvement in cancer, and racial
and ethnic differences.
