CDC Science Clips: Volume 9, Issue 50, December 19, 2017
Science Clips is produced weekly to enhance awareness of emerging scientific knowledge for the public health community. Each article features an Altmetric Attention scoreExternal
This week, Science Clips is pleased to feature articles from the December 15, 2017 CDC-led supplement of CANCER, Population-based Cancer Survival in the United States (2001-2009): findings from the CONCORD-2 study.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) helps support a nationwide network of population-based cancer registries. The registries provide ongoing, systematic collection of incidence and survival information on all patients diagnosed with cancer. These data tell a compelling story about the disproportionate burden of lower cancer survival experienced by vulnerable populations.
Articles in the supplement use data from 37 statewide cancer registries, covering 80% of the U.S. population. These data constitute the largest study of population-based cancer survival to date in the United States. Survival up to five years following diagnosis are presented for 10 leading cancers (female breast, colon, rectum, liver, lung, cervix, ovary, prostate, stomach and acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children) by race (black and white), state at diagnosis and stage at diagnosis (where applicable). Each of the 10 cancer-specific papers includes clinical and cancer control perspectives highlighting how clinical practice may have had an impact on population-based cancer survival trends, and how public health agencies can use this information to help target early diagnosis and treatment services.
The report consists of these components:
