Keywords: prevalence, statistics, survivorship, treatment patterns DISCLOSURES: The authors report no conflicts of interest. The findings and conclusions in this report are those of the authors and do not Introduction necessarily represent the official position of the National Cancer Institute. The number of cancer survivors continues to grow in the United States despite doi: 10.3322/caac.21349. Available online overall declining incidence rates in men and stable rates in women. This reflects at cacancerjournal.com an increasing number of new cancer diagnoses resulting from a growing and aging population, as well as increases in cancer survival because of advances in early detection and treatment. The American Cancer Society collaborates with the National Cancer Institute biennially to estimate the numbers of current and future cancer survivors to help the public health community better serve this unique population, some of whom must cope with long-term physical effects of treatment, as well as psychological and socioeconomic sequelae. In this article, we use the term “cancer survivor” to describe any person who has been diagnosed with cancer, from the time of diagno- sis through the remainder of his or her life. This includes patients currently under- going treatment and those who may have become cancer-free. Throughout this article, the terms “cancer patient” and “survivor” are used interchangeably, although not all people with a history of cancer identify with the term “cancer survivor.” We provide estimates for the most prevalent cancers, as well as statistics on treatment patterns and survival and issues related to survivorship. Materials and Methods Prevalence Estimates Cancer prevalence as of January 1, 2016 was estimated using the Prevalence Inci- dence Approach Model, which calculates prevalence from cancer incidence and survival and all-cause mortality.

The number of cancer survivors continues to grow in the United States despite doi: 10.3322/caac.21349. Available online overall declining incidence rates in men and stable rates in women. This reflects at cacancerjournal.com an increasing number of new cancer diagnoses resulting from a growing and aging population, as well as increases in cancer survival because of advances in early detection and treatment. The American Cancer Society collaborates with the National Cancer Institute biennially to estimate the numbers of current and future cancer survivors to help the public health community better serve this unique population, some of whom must cope with long-term physical effects of treatment, as well as psychological and socioeconomic sequelae. In this article, we use the term “cancer survivor” to describe any person who has been diagnosed with cancer, from the time of diagno- sis through the remainder of his or her life. This includes patients currently under- going treatment and those who may have become cancer-free. Throughout this article, the terms “cancer patient” and “survivor” are used interchangeably, although not all people with a history of cancer identify with the term “cancer survivor.” We provide estimates for the most prevalent cancers, as well as statistics on treatment patterns and survival and issues related to survivorship. Materials and Methods Prevalence Estimates Cancer prevalence as of January 1, 2016 was estimated using the Prevalence Inci- dence Approach Model, which calculates prevalence from cancer incidence and survival and all-cause mortality.
