A Pan-Cancer Analysis of Age and Sex Differences in Cancer Incidence and Survival in the United States, 2001-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In cancer, age and sex are often studied individually, but the impact of the intersection of these factors on cancer incidence and survival remains unclear. Using population-level data, we provide an up-to-date analysis of the impact of sex and age on cancer incidence and survival.

Methods

Using data from the United States Cancer Statistics public use research database and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Program of Cancer Registries Survival database, we assessed sex and age differences in the incidence and survival of malignant cancers diagnosed from 2001 to 2020.

Results

Males experienced higher cancer incidence than females in all sites and age groups, excluding 20-29- and 30-39-year-olds. The highest Male-to-female (M:F) age-ad
