Childhood cancer diagnoses in the US have been trending up for more than a decade, a study finds
There were 14,381 new childhood cancer diagnoses in the US in 2019: about 177 new cases for every 1 million children and teens up to age 19. Incidence rates have dropped since reaching a peak in 2016 but are still about 8% higher than they were in 2003, when there were about 165 new cases for every 1 million children and teens. “Overall, cancer is very rare in children and adolescents, and the increases were small,” said Dr.
For this study, the researchers used data from medical records that was compiled in the CDC’s federal cancer statistics database. All 50 states were reporting data by 2003, offering a complete picture of pediatric cancer in the US population. It takes a few years after a diagnosis for data to become available in the system, making 2019 the most recent year with data available at the time of the study.
