There will be an estimated 18 million cancer survivors in the USA by 2022, according to a new report from the American Cancer Society ( ACS) and the National Cancer Institute. The report—in which a cancer survivor was broadly defined as any living person who has been diagnosed with the disease at any time—used data from national registries to estimate that roughly 13·7 million Americans with a history of cancer were alive at the beginning of 2012, and used mortality data and population projections to calculate an estimate for 2022.
