Cancer incidence continues to rise for many common cancers—especially for women. The incidence rate for women younger than 50 has increased from 51% higher than men in 2002 to 82% higher in 2021 (the most current year with data).

The cancer death rate declined by more than one-third over a three-decade period in the United States, though incidence rates for many types of cancer are rising in women and young adults, according to a new report.

Cancer cases are shifting from men to women in the U.S., and from older to younger adults, according to a new report from the American Cancer Society.
