Click here to view the most recent statistics on cancer. This data includes information on incidence, mortality and survival rates, which are the three most common groups of statistics produced about cancer. Understanding what each one means is integral to being able to comprehend and apply what you're reading. Read more on the reliability of statistics and what they can and cannot tell you.

Cancer statistics on this Web site are generally presented for each of the major cancer sites. For most of the online tools and reports, you can select from a list of the major sites to access the statistics.

Most of the statistics published on the SEER Web site are presented by cancer site. You can select from lists of the most common cancers to access a fact sheet (Cancer Stat Fact Sheets), online charts, graphs and tables (Fast Stats), and charts and tables in PDF format (Cancer Statistics Review). See FAQ #6 for more information on other cancers.

While some of the statistics on our website may seem out of date, they are almost always the most recent statistics available. Unfortunately, some statistics - national and state teen pregnancy rates in particular - take a relatively long time to collect. Birth data are released by the federal government in three waves. Preliminary rates for the previous year are typically released the following summer. Then, final rates are released at the end the following year.

Recent accuracy is a measure of how well Defensio has been performing on your blog lately. It is computed by subtracting out the errors (false postives and false negatives) over the last 7 days of comment activity on your blog, and dividing this by the total comment traffic over that period. The closer Defensio is to 100%, the better we're doing! Not really. We highly recommend that you use Defensio as your stand alone spam filtering solution.

Statistics are compiled from the experiences of large numbers of people and therefore, are best interpreted in a general way, with the understanding that individuals may have different experiences.

Please remember, this is a rare cancer. The survival statistics for a rare cancer can be misleading. Many times the numbers are complied over a very long period of time as there are so few cases. This means survival statistics that are better for those who have had more current treatment might be combined with survival statistics for those who years ago received no treatment at all.

The Cancer Statistics section of this site has information on Understanding Cancer Statistics (including a glossary of terms), links to reports and Web sites to help with Finding Cancer Statistics, as well as Statistical Tools and Data for researching statistics. A link to this section appears in the navigation bar at the top of all pages of the site.

In 2008, the American Cancer Society estimates that 182,460 new cases of invasive breast cancer (Stages I-IV) will be diagnosed among women in the United States, with 40,480 deaths. There will be approximately 67,770 new cases of DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ, Stage 0), the non-invasive, earliest form of breast cancer. Incidence rates for female breast cancer dropped slightly from 2001 through 2004.

bull;Our own Team Discovery stats are posted every night in an excellent effort by one of our members, dersgniw here: http://disco.mine.nu/. The statistics are updated each day at 3:30 AM, Eastern time. bull;For viewing/interpreting the statistics, this additional information has been provided by Ken Weilbacher of TSC: To clear up the 'Coverage' statistics some, all of our candidates are assigned multiple times to different nodes and we take an average of all of the docking times.

No, additional imaging is quite routine. It does not necessarily mean that you have cancer. It is another way of imaging the breast so that the radiologist can see things in the breast in a slightly different manner.

A pathology report based on your biopsy procedure will determine the type of breast cancer and its stage (degree of seriousness). These results will guide your physician in determining treatment options.

HER2 stands for Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2. Each normal breast cell contains copies of the HER2 gene, which helps normal cells grow. The HER2 gene is found in the DNA of a cell, and this gene contains the information for making the HER2 protein. The HER2 protein, also called the HER2 receptor, is found on the surface of some normal cells in the body. In normal cells, HER2 proteins help send growth signals from outside the cell to the inside of the cell.

Having a family member with a disease suggests that you may have a higher chance of developing that disease than someone without a similar family history. It does not mean that you will definitely develop the disease. Genes are only one of many factors that contribute to disease. Other factors to consider include lifestyle habits, such as diet and physical activity. If you are at risk for breast cancer, consider following national guidelines for a healthy diet and regular exercise.

You'll see some numbers in the recent changes after the time an edit was made. This number indicates how many characters were added or removed from the article. If the number is red, then characters were removed. If the number is green, then characters were added. For example, would indicate 1,000 characters were removed from this article by a user named User. These coloured numbers help indicate if users are vandalizing articles or helping contribute to them.

State Cancer Profiles provides cancer statistics primarily for prioritizing cancer control efforts. The focus is on cancer sites for which there are known, preventable risk factors (e.g., smoking and lung cancer) or screening tests for early detection and effective treatment options (e.g., mammography screening for breast cancer).

The most common statistic on our website is a rate, either a teen pregnancy rate or a teen birth rate. A rate measures the likelihood of teen pregnancy or birth happening within the population and is calculated by dividing the number of pregnancies or births by the teen population, then multiplying by 1,000. For example, California's 1996 teen pregnancy rate of 125 per 1,000 means that out of every 1,000 teen girls living in California in 1996, 125 got pregnant that year.

A few common questions and answers about the web statistics package results. Awstats is the name of the package and there are a number of other resources for this as well, we have summarised some that our clients have asked and should be useful for other clients. Below is a transcript of some questions and answers. Jeaneen is the client and Pete is our support guy that answered the questions, the client's name is Smart-Trade.

When I try to create a new database, it tells me the database already exists, even though it doesn't appear on the list. You may have tried to create a database with the same name as an existing database on the server. You can still create another database, but name it differently.

Webpage statistics give you a quick synopsis of all activities on your website. Most of the information provided in your statistics reports are related to how frequently people visit your webpage. A webpage "hit" is defined as a single attempt to access your webserver, regardless of whether or not it was successful. All successful pageviews count as at least one hit. Each image, flash movie, media clip, or other file included in your webpage also counts as a hit.

No, even though a gene mutation may be present, you are not at 100% risk for developing cancer. An individual with a BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 alteration is more likely to develop cancer than an individual without an alteration. However, not every individual who has a BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 alteration will develop cancer, because genes are not the only factor affecting cancer risk.

Stage is the word doctors use to describe the size of a cancerous tumor as well as where and how far it has spread. The stage of the cancer affects the choices for treatment.

Most polyps are benign, or non-cancerous, growths on the inner wall of the colon and rectum. They are fairly common in people over 50. Some types of polyps can become cancerous if not removed. Not all polyps become cancerous but nearly all colon cancers start as polyps. It is advised to undergo a colonoscopy because it can find and remove polyps before they become cancerous. Early detection is the best weapon against most forms of cancer.

The post 2002 cure rates are at least as good as before but with fewer side effects: 93% of men had negative biopsies and 87% had constant psa’s of less than 1 in a study of 146 men treated in Regensburg, Germany with follow-up up to 5 years. Where the technology has changed is that it took an already safe treatment and made it safer. Pre-2002 there was a small risk of rectal injury.
