Book Description
More than one million Californians alive today have a history of cancer. In 2009, more than 55,000 Californians died of cancer, and more than 147,000 new cancer cases were diagnosed. The treatment of cancer represented $125 billion in health care spending nationally in 2010. The good news is that cancer mortality rates have fallen by 22% since 1989 and rates of new invasive cancers have dropped 9%. The bad news is that while we know a great deal about who gets cancer and who dies from it, we do not know much about the quality of the care provided or its cost. The delivery of cancer care is complex, with teams of cancer professionals providing care in a variety of settings and systems, from community practices to large-scale, comprehensive cancer centers. Among these providers, recommendations differ on the best approach to and/or timing of cancer screening and treatment. Significant racial and ethnic disparities also exist for both cancer incidence and mortality in California. This report examines cancer in California, including trends and disparities in incidence and mortality, costs of cancer care, and location and providers of cancer care. The report also highlights available cancer quality measures and recent data on national health care spending on cancer treatment.
