Cancer by Age

This database provides cancer incidence data, crude rates, and age-adjusted rates. It includes the leading cancers reported by the CDC.  Crude rates indicate the number of cases reported each calendar year per 100,000 population.  Age-adjusted rates are weighted averages of the age-specific (crude) rates, where the weights are the proportions of persons in the corresponding age groups of a standard million population. See the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) at CDC for more details. for more details.
