Trends in Childhood and Adolescent Cancer Incidence Rates in the United States between 2001 and 2022.

ABSTRACT: We estimated trends in age-standardized childhood and adolescent cancer rates between 2001-2022 using national data from the United States Cancer Statistics database. The incidence of cancer in 0-19-year-olds was 18.2 per 100,000 with rates increasing 0.94%/year between 2001-2016 and then decreasing 0.96%/year during 2016-2022. Lymphoma rates increased 0.49%/year during 2001-2022, while trajectories of other cancers varied over time. Leukemia rates increased by 1.03%/year during 2001-2010 and then plateaued. Rates of central nervous system tumors increased by 0.81%/year during 2001-2014 and then declined 2.10%/year during 2014-2022. Rates of other epithelial neoplasms were stable from 2001-2013, increased in 2013-2016, and were stable during 2016-2022. There were an estimated 1,040 additio
