Cancer Data and Statistics Tools

United States Cancer Statistics
The United States Cancer Statistics (USCS): Incidence and Mortality Web-based Report contains official federal government cancer statistics for new cancer cases and deaths. For more information, see the USCS fact sheet. [PDF-312KB]

United States Cancer Statistics: Data Visualizations
The United States Cancer Statistics (USCS): Data Visualizations tool uses cancer incidence and mortality data from the USCS Web-based report. It includes six tabs: Overview, U.S. Cancer Demographics, Cancer Trends, State Cancer Overview, State Data and Ranking, and More Information, plus technical notes and additional resources. Data are displayed as maps and bar charts with interpretive text when users scroll over each graphic. Users can customize displays of overall and cancer-specific statistics, view data as a table, and share each tab via social media.

Interactive Cancer Atlas
CDC’s Interactive Cancer Atlas (InCA) uses USCS data to create United States maps that allow you to make quick comparisons including incidence or mortality rate or count, cancer site, gender, race/ethnicity, and year.

CDC WONDER
CDC WONDER is an online query system that produces age-adjusted and crude rates in tabular, map, and chart formats. Variables include year of diagnosis, state, region or division of the United States, sex, race, ethnicity, age, primary site, and childhood cancer. Data from selected registries, covering between 86% and 96% of the United States population depending on the year of diagnosis, may be accessed through CDC WONDER.

State Cancer Facts
The State Cancer Facts application provides state-specific data on lung, colorectal, female breast, and prostate cancers, including the estimated number of new cancer cases, cancer deaths, and the age-adjusted mortality rates for cancer deaths by race for each state.

U.S. County Cancer Incidence Dataset
This data set consists of aggregate cancer incidence rates and counts for major cancer sites for selected counties in the United States. The purpose of this data set is to provide aggregated county-level data for cancer control planning, policymaking, and monitoring. Examples of users include state cancer control planners, state legislators and policymakers, and the American Cancer Society.

National Center for Health Statistics Research Data Center
CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) developed the Research Data Center (RDC) to allow researchers access to restricted data. In addition to providing access to NCHS data, the RDC also hosts restricted data from NPCR-CSS as well as a variety of other groups within the Department of Health and Human Services.

Health Insurance Coverage Status by Age, Race, Hispanic Origin, Sex, and Income for Counties and States
These are estimates of the low-income, uninsured populations at the state and county levels. Small Area Health Insurance Estimates are the only source for estimates of health insurance coverage status for all counties in the nation. The estimates are the result of a multi-year collaboration between CDC’s Division of Cancer Prevention and Control and the Census Bureau’s Small Area Estimates Branch.
