Cancer Treatment & Survivor Statistics 2022

Aug 25, 2022 by YayCTR 0 Comments , , , ,

The number of cancer survivors is growing in the USA as a result of combined effects of a growing and aging population as well as advances in early detection and treatment. The American Cancer Society collaborates with the National Cancer Institute to estimate cancer prevalence in the US for the most common cancers. In the 2022 report statistics on contemporary treatment patterns and survival as well as issues related to survivorship and the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed. Then, for the first time, treatment data by race/ethnicity for a selected set of cancers (female breast, colon, rectum, lung and uterus) are also presented.

Information in this report can be very useful for cancer registrars and administrators for statistical comparison or to understand the unique characteristics of the population in your region.

Cancer Prevention 2021 (infographic)

Jul 24, 2021 by SuperCTR 0 Comments , , , ,

The American Cancer Society (ACS) conducts long-term studies on how research helps people to understand, prevent, and treat cancer. Research helps to identify links between a behavior or lifestyle and an individual’s risk of getting cancer. For example, cigarette smoking and lung cancer, or the impact of being overweight or obese on cancer incidence or death, and so forth.

Cancer Registrars collaborate with physicians, nurses and administrators to plan and conduct cancer prevention and screening events. They use information from research to identify what we have learned from research and to develop prevention events and educational topics that are targeted uniquely to the community.

The ACS infographic (see below) is a useful resource that can be used by Cancer Registrars and community outreach coordinators as they plan their cancer prevention events in 2021.
