Early Findings
Cancer
"In
2019,
there will be an estimated
1,762,450
new cancer cases diagnosed and
606,880
cancer deaths in the United States."
More than
15.5 million Americans
with a history of cancer were alive on
January 1, 2016
, most of whom were diagnosed many years ago and have no current evidence of cancer.
More than
1.7 million new cancer cases
are expected to be diagnosed in
2019
.
About
606,880
Americans are expected to die of cancer in 2019, which means that there are approximately
1,660 deaths per day
.
"The most
common cancers
(listed in descending order according to
estimated new cases in 2018
) are breast cancer, lung and bronchus cancer, prostate cancer, colon and rectum cancer, melanoma of the skin, bladder cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, kidney and renal pelvis cancer, endometrial cancer, leukemia, pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer, and liver cancer."
Here are the cancer deaths
by state
for 2019.
Heart Failure
Approximately
6.2 million
American adults had heart failure (HF) in
2013-2016
. HF prevalence continues to rise.
As of April 27, 2018
,
3,994 Americans
were on a waiting list for heart transplant, and
55
were waiting for heart and lung transplant.
Coronary events are expected to occur in about
1,055,000 individuals
, including
720,000 new
and
335,000 recurrent
coronary events, in the United States in 2019.
"Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in the United States, responsible for
840,768 deaths
(635,260 cardiac) in 2016. From 2006 to 2016, the US death rate from CVD decreased by
18.6%
and from coronary heart disease by
31.8%.
"
Parkinson's Disease
About 60,000
Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease (PD) each year.
It is predicted that almost
one million
people will be living with Parkinson's disease (PD) in the U.S. by
2020
.
The scientific journal,
npj Parkinson’s Disease,
published a
Parkinson’s Foundation study
. The Foundation’s
“Parkinson’s Prevalence Project”
estimates that 930,000 people in the United States will be living with the disease by 2020, further increasing to 1.2 million people by 2030.
"The
prevalence
of the disease ranges from
41 people per 100,000
in the fourth decade of life to more than
1,900 people per 100,000
among those who are 80 and older."
"The
incidence
of the disease, or the rate of newly diagnosed cases, generally increases with age, although it can stabilize in people who are older than
80
. An estimated
4 percent
of people with Parkinson’s are diagnosed before age 50."
Lupus
Approximately
1.5 million Americans
have a form of lupus.
Of individuals diagnosed with lupus,
90% are women
.
Most people with lupus will live a normal lifespan,
due to improved diagnosis and treatment.
Summary Of Our Early Findings Relevant To The Goals
