This research aims to develop a more accurate method for estimating cancer incidence counts in the United States and by state.
Developed a new statistical model incorporating predictors of cancer occurrence.
Accounted for delays in case reporting.
Projected estimated numbers of cases using a piecewise linear regression method.
The new method produced more accurate estimates compared to previous methods.
Estimates were validated with available data for comparison over several years and areas.
