IS THE INCIDENCE OF CANCER INCREASING?!


Question: IS THE INCIDENCE OF CANCER INCREASING.?
I can't seem to find recent data on the internet. Does anyone know.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
The American Cancer Society web site, as well as the National Cancer Institute, both have a lot of statistical data available on their web sites.

Some cancers are increasing, some are decreasing. Melanoma, for example, is increasing, probably because of the popularity of tanning salons. Breast cancer has begun decreasing the last few years, likely because of the decreased use of Hormone Replacement Therapy in menopausal women.

Worldwide, you might find information on the World Health Organization web site. The other sites I mentioned would give US data.Health Question & Answer

While I agree it's becoming more common, I believe part of the reason is that the diagnostics have gotten more sensitive, enabling cancer to be detected in earlier stages.

I would try the National Institutes of Health, and American Cancer Society websites. They may have links to the data you're looking for.Health Question & Answer
