Five-Year Summary: January 2017 to December 2021
Tables and graphs report on cancer screening and diagnostic services provided through the program in a recent 5-year period. The data represent clinical services funded directly through the NBCCEDP as reported in the October 2022 submission of the NBCCEDP Minimum Data Elements (MDE).
National aggregate data are typically used to report results from the program and as a standard to compare award recipients’ results. Comparing data across award recipients is not advised due to extensive variation. For information on interpreting the data, refer to Screening Program Summaries.
Data for the following award recipients are suppressed: American Indian Cancer Foundation, the District of Columbia, Great Plains Tribal Chairmen's Health Board, Marshall Islands, and Massachusetts.
