Many Ways to See the Changing Face of Cancer

The best way to understand new facts is to see them in many different forms: words, pictures, graphs, and more. And now, it’s easier than ever to find out what cancer looks like in the United States with U.S. Cancer Statistics (USCS)!
CDC and the the National Cancer Institute collect information on cancer cases in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Wherever you live, you can understand how cancer affects your area.

Cancer Registries Improve Data and Lives

North American Association of Central Cancer Registries
Many people from DCPC are at the annual meeting of the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries in Pittsburgh this week. Workers called registrars collect cancer case data from places like clinics, hospitals, and laboratories. These data are submitted to central cancer registries to remove any personal information that could identify the patients, then sent to CDC’s National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) and the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program.
