| Statistics for 2003 |
|
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.
Important Change in Reporting of Cancer Statistics
It is very important to note that the incidence and mortality data in the 2003
report will be 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.
