Statistics for 2006
The ACS tracks cancer occurrence, including the number of deaths, cases,
and how long people survive after diagnosis. ACS also tracks data
regarding behaviors that influence the risk of developing cancer and the
use of screening tests.

Caution: It is very important to note that, beginning with the 2003 Cancer
Facts & Figures, the incidence and mortality data has been age-adjusted to
the 2000 population standard of the United States.

This change in method will affect the comparability of the new report's
data with that of previous years. The new approach will result in some
dramatic changes in the rates of cancer incidence and mortality, rates at
different ages, magnitude of improvement in cancer, and racial and ethnic
differences.
