Cancer Facts & Figures for Hispanic/Latino People 2024-2026 is an educational report that provides statistics about the occurrence of cancer in Hispanic/Latino people in the United States and includes data about cancer prevention, risk factors, screening, and treatment for this population. An accompanying scientific article will be published in September 2025 in the American Cancer Society's CA A Cancer Journal for Clinicians.
According to 2023 estimates from the United States Census Bureau, 64 million Americans (19% of the population in the continental US and Hawaii) identified themselves as Hispanic or Latino. That number increases by another 3 million when the statistics include Hispanic/Latino Americans in Puerto Rico, a US territory. That makes the Hispanic/Latino population the second largest and youngest racial and ethnic group in the United States.
