Becker’s used CDC data on cancer cases reported in each state in 2020 — the latest year for which data are available — and new diagnoses estimates for 2024 to calculate the projected growth rate for each state. All states are estimated to see higher than an 11% jump.
Editor’s note: The CDC advises caution when interpreting 2020 data due to pandemic-related disruptions to cancer screenings and reporting. State estimates for 2024 cases may not equal the total for the U.S. due to rounding.
