The next 20 years will see a big shift in cancer type rankings, researchers predict. At the moment, the most common cancers in the United States are breast, lung, prostate, colorectal, and melanoma. By 2040, melanoma will have become the second most common cancer type, while prostate cancer will drop in incidence all the way to 14, the study authors predict. Breast cancer will remain the top cancer to be diagnosed, lung cancer will drop from position 2 to 3, and colorectal cancer will remain at 4. These predicted rankings of cancer types by their total number of annual cases were published online April 7 in JAMA Network Open.
The authors also rank cancer type by mortality. Currently, most cancer deaths are due to lung cancer, followed by colorectal, pancreatic, and breast. By 2040, the most notable change in cancer deaths is that liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer, currently at position 6, jumps up to third.
Two decades from now, the ranking in terms of cancer deaths will be lung, pancreatic, liver and intrahepatic bile duct, and colorectal.
Rankings of Most Common Cancers to Shift Over Next 20 Years Rankings for the most common cancers, as well as the cancer types responsible for the most deaths, are predicted to change over the next 20 years in the United States.
