Where can I find statistics related to the Lifetime Risk of Developing or Dying of Cancer?
Statistical models are used to compute the probability of developing or dying of cancer from birth or conditional on a certain age. The development of this statistical methodology is described in the following reports:
Reports and Tools
SEER Cancer Statistics Review,
1975-2005 includes Lifetime
Risk Tables (PDF), by cancer site, showing the probability (expressed as a percent) of a person of a specified race, sex, and age (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60) being diagnosed with the specified
cancer within the next 10, 20, or 30 years or within their remaining lifetime.
Fast Stats is an interactive tool to access key SEER and US cancer statistics by age, sex, and race.
Cancer Query Systems: Probability of Developing or Dying of Cancer provides access to a database of pre-calculated statistics, allowing users to view these statistics without downloading and installing DevCan. However, the DevCan software provides greater flexibility than this online database, including the ability to analyze your own cancer data.
Software for Calculating Lifetime Risk
DevCan is PC-based statistical software used to calculate the lifetime risks of being diagnosed with or dying from cancer.
