Detailed explanation-1: -Cancer incidence is the number of new cancer cases arising in a specified population over a given period of time (typically 1 year). It can be expressed as an absolute number of cases within the entire population per year or as a rate per 100 000 persons per year (see Crude Rate and Age-Standardized Rate below).
Detailed explanation-2: -Incidence rate = (New cancers / Population) × 100, 000 The numerator of the incidence rate is the number of new cancers; the denominator is the size of the population. The number of new cancers may include multiple primary cancers occurring in one patient.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Facts & Figures annual report provides: Estimated numbers of new cancer cases and deaths in 2021 (In 2021, there will be an estimated 1.9 million new cancer cases diagnosed and 608, 570 cancer deaths in the United States.)
