Every year since 1967, the American Cancer Society (ACS) has published the annual Cancer Statistics articles in the January/February issue of CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians. During this period, clinicians have turned to this article for a concise summary of the most up-to-date cancer incidence, mortality, and survival data, as well as estimates of new cancer cases and deaths for the current year based on incidence data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program of the National Cancer Institute and mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Due to a delayed release of mortality data from NCHS, we regret to inform you that Cancer Statistics, 2006, will not appear in this issue, but in a future issue. Because the publishing process for the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Facts and Figures has a shorter lead time than is possible for CA, the booklet, which provides much of the information that will appear in Cancer Statistics, 2006, may be available on the ACS Web site (www.cancer.org) before the CA article is published. In order to give our readership access to the data as quickly as possible, a direct link to Cancer Facts and Figures 2006 will also be provided on the CA Online homepage until the Cancer Statistics, 2006, article is published.
The annual Cancer Statistics article continues to be one of the most important articles published in CA. We will work closely with NCHS staff with the goal of returning this article to the January/February issue next year.
Sincerely,
Ted Gansler, MD, MBA
