Incidence and Survival Assumptions

Cancer incidence stays at 2003-2005 average rate; survival at 2005 rate; changes due to projected population changes only.

This site is based on a study that estimates and projects the national cost of cancer care through the year 2020 separately for multiple cancer sites using the most recent available U.S. population projections, cancer incidence, survival, and cost of care data.
