The Cancer Statistics Review (CSR), updated just this morning with new incidence statistics, contains the most recent data available on incidence, mortality, survival, prevalence, and lifetime risk statistics for 27 cancers. Unlike other statistical cancer reports, the CSR is purely about numbers, without interpretation. The CSR is updated each year, as soon as new numbers are ready, ensuring that its figures are as up-to-date as possible. Today’s update includes data on incidence rates through 2008 (previously 2007). Mortality and lifetime risk updates for 2008 are expected in a few months.
