Work out cancer incidence projection instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Compounds population growth and the ageing effect over the projection horizon, the two demographic drivers of rising cancer case numbers.
Incidence projection
Projected cases = current cases x (1 + population growth)^years x (1 + ageing effect)^years
Cancer incidence rises steeply with age, so an older population produces more cases even at constant age-specific rates.
No. It holds age-specific rates constant and attributes growth to demography alone.
