Australian National Cancer Statistics 2010

The Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology has extracted key data from the AIHW publication Cancer in Australia: an overview, 2010 and presented a summary of the key points.

Cancer has a greater overall impact on the health of Australians than any other disease group. On average, one in two Australians will develop cancer and one in five will die from it before the age of 85. This article provides an overview of statistics on cancer in Australia, focusing on incidence, mortality, survival, and participation in national cancer screening programs.
