The Cancer Trends Progress Report – 2007 Update has been designed to make navigation and downloading of materials of interest as simple as possible. The figure below shows the Home Page, followed by brief descriptions of its main components. Click a circled number to read that component's description.
Report Highlights. A summary of the main conclusions of the report outlining where the nation is making progress toward major cancer-related Healthy People 2010 targets set forth by the Department of Health and Human Services, and where additional progress still needs to be made.
Trends-at-a-Glance. A one-page overview of the trend direction for all the measures covered in the Progress Report. This portion of the Web site also includes Summary Tables, which describe additional characteristics of each measure not included in Trends-at-a-Glance.
Body of the Progress Report. The detailed contents of the report can be found here. The Progress Report is divided into six major chapters, based on the cancer continuum: Prevention, Early Detection, Diagnosis, Treatment, Life after Cancer, and End of Life. Each chapter is subdivided into two or more sections. Each section has the same general layout: Introduction, Measure, Period (for which data are shown), Trends (verbal and graphical description), Most Recent Estimates, Healthy People 2010 Targets, Groups at High Risk (for the measure in question), Key Issues, and Links to Additional Information.
Tools. This "toolbox" is always available to the user. It includes the following features:
- Print this page. Allows the user to print the page that is currently being viewed
- Generate custom report. This feature enables the user to generate a report that includes only those sections or chapters that the user wishes to view or print. The report is dynamically generated, and produces a document in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. The Adobe Acrobat Reader, which can be downloaded at no cost, is required to open this document.
