Which organization annually publishes cancer statistics to estimate cancer burden?

The American Cancer Society (ACS) is recognized for its annual publication of detailed cancer statistics that provide comprehensive estimates of cancer incidence, mortality, and survival. The ACS's "Cancer Facts & Figures" report is a widely cited resource that synthesizes data from various sources, helping to inform healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the public about the cancer burden in the United States. This publication not only highlights current trends in cancer statistics but also plays a crucial role in raising awareness about cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment.

The other organizations mentioned do contribute to cancer data and statistics but may not have the specific focus or annual frequency of publication that ACS is known for in this context. For example, while the National Cancer Institute (NCI) does provide extensive cancer data through the SEER program, the ACS is specifically recognized for its annual reports geared toward public awareness. The World Health Organization (WHO) publishes global health statistics, including cancer data, but on a broader international scale, and not as frequently as the ACS. Lastly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does publish cancer statistics, particularly related to public health aspects, but again, the ACS's targeted approach to cancer burden estimation sets it apart in this specific case.
