Purpose The aim of this study was to report nationwide cancer statistics in Korea, includingincidence, mortality, survival, and prevalence, and their trends. Materials and MethodsIncidence data from 1993 to 2012 were obtained from the Korea National CancerIncidence Database, and vital status was followed through December 31, 2013. Mortality data from 1983 to 2012 were obtained from Statistics Korea. Crude andage-standardized rates for incidence, mortality, and prevalence, and relative survivalwere calculated. ResultsA total of 224,177 cancer cases and 73,759 cancer deaths were reported in 2012,and there were 1,234,879 prevalent cases identified in Korea as of January 1, 2013. Over the past 14 years (1999-2012), overall incidence rates have increased by 3.3%per year. The incidence rates of liver and cervical cancers have decreased, while thoseof thyroid, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers have increased. Notably, incidenceof thyroid cancer increased by 22.3% per year in both sexes and has been the mostcommon cancer since 2009. The mortality for all cancers combined decreased by2.7% per year from 2002 to 2012. Five-year relative survival rates of patients diagnosedin the last 5 years (2008-2012) have improved by 26.9% compared with thosefrom 1993 to1995. ConclusionOverall cancer mortality rates have declined since 2002 in Korea, while incidencehas increased and survival has improved.
