Temporal Trends in Six Major Cancers: Implications for Lifestyle-Based Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Across the Life Course

Background/Objectives: Cancer remains a serious public health challenge in the United States. Six major cancers (female breast, colorectal, liver, lung/bronchus, pancreas, and prostate) account for a substantial proportion of the national cancer burden. Understanding the changes in the incidence of these cancers over time can provide insights for prevention and control. This study examined temporal trends in the cancer incidence according to age at onset and stage at diagnosis.
