Glossary for Nonscientists

Featured Term:
Cancer incidence
(also called cancer occurrence)

The number of new diagnoses of cancer, or new cases, in a group. Incidence counts can give information about a specific group but can’t be used to compare groups because the numbers alone don’t account for the size of the group or age ranges of the people in it. Comparing groups requires cancer incidence rates.
