Abstract
A comprehensive framework for cancer surveillance spans the entire lifespan and is capable of providing information on risk, burden, disparity, cost, cancer care, survival, and death. Cancer incidence, the point in the continuum at which a healthy individual becomes a cancer patient, has a strong, well-developed system to produce information about newly diagnosed cancer cases. However, in the future this system must be enhanced and integrated with other cancer surveillance networks to provide timely information on the burden of newly diagnosed patients with respect to various cross-cutting population characteristics to define, monitor, and reduce incidence, disparity, and other differences noted among groups.
