Please note:
The 2017-2021 update includes data from the 2020 and 2021 diagnosis years. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted access to medical care leading to delays in cancer diagnoses beginning in 2020, as reflected in the decline in incidence rates for that year. Thus, caution is advised when interpreting data from the diagnosis year 2020. While the number of new cases diagnosed in 2021 remained slightly lower for some cancer types, others have returned to pre-pandemic levels.
