Every year the American Cancer Society estimates the number of new cancer cases and deaths that will occur nationally and in each state. Published annually since 1951, “Cancer Facts & Figures” provides the most current information about cancer. These widely cited projections serve as a basis for research, are a valued resource by policymakers, and are also readily understood by the public. How many new cancer cases are there projected to be in 2021? What are the current cancer incidence, mortality, and survival statistics? What’s the latest information on cancer symptoms and risk factors? The just-released “Cancer Facts & Figures 2021” and “Cancer Statistics 2021” provide a comprehensive breakdown of the most up-to-date cancer statistics. This year’s report also includes a special section on cancer and COVID-19.
