Cancer Facts & Figures – 2011, American Cancer Society (ACS), Atlanta, Georgia, 2011. Excludes basal and squamous cell skin and in situ carcinomas except urinary bladder.

Incidence projections are based on rates from the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries(NAACCR) from 1995-2007, representing about 95% of the US population.

Estimated deaths are based on data from US Mortality Data, 1969-2007, National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2010.

a Estimated deaths for colon & rectum cancers are combined.

b Carcinoma in situ of the breast accounts for about 57,650 new cases annually, and melanoma in situ accounts for about 53,360 new cases annually.

c More deaths than cases suggests lack of specificity in recording underlying causes of death on death certificate.
