Chart and download registry observations by metric, cancer, geography, sex, age group and year. Values are exactly as published by the source; CancerIndex harmonizes units and labels, never the numbers. The URL is the permalink.
Deaths (count) · United States · both sexes · all ages · 2024
Sources: U.S. Cancer Statistics (USCS) — NPCR/SEER incidence and NVSS mortality (retrieved Sep 8, 2026); CDC WONDER — Underlying Cause of Death (US mortality by ICD-10 site) (retrieved Sep 8, 2026). Default selection: the 5 top-level cancers with the highest deaths in 2024 (United States), computed from the observations — not a curated list.
Shown as 2 separate charts: the observations differ by source (cdc-uscs vs cdc-wonder). Values that differ on any of these dimensions are never overlaid on one axis.

Small multiples: one panel per cancer, shared y-axis 0–138,956 count across the 5 panels so heights are comparable.

Every observation behind the charts. Sorted by cancer, geography, sex and year. Counts are per site group as published — they are not summed into an all-sites total.
CancerIndex (2026). Data explorer: Deaths, United States, both sexes, all ages, 2024. https://www.cancerindex.io/explore (accessed Sep 29, 2026). Underlying observations: U.S. Cancer Statistics (USCS) — NPCR/SEER incidence and NVSS mortality, U.S. Cancer Statistics — Data Visualizations tool data tables (BYSITE.TXT), retrieved Sep 8, 2026; CDC WONDER — Underlying Cause of Death (US mortality by ICD-10 site), CDC WONDER Underlying Cause of Death, 2018-2024, Single Race, retrieved Sep 8, 2026.
Underlying observations remain under their providers' licenses (see each source page); CancerIndex's harmonization is CC BY 4.0.
Population statistics describe groups defined by geography, period, sex and age. They do not predict any individual's risk or outcome. Values labelled "estimated" or "projected" are model outputs of the source, not registry counts.
Geographies are limited to the sources currently ingested: U.S. Cancer Statistics (USCS); CDC WONDER (United States). Registered but not yet ingested: IARC Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN) (review); SEER API (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program) (awaiting credentials); SEER*Explorer (SEER statistics exports) (approved) — their geographies appear only once the licensing gate is passed and a sync has succeeded; nothing is shown from them until then. Up to 6 cancers per chart; different standard populations, sources or age groups are never overlaid (rules).
