The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare and the Australasian Association of Cancer Registries collaborate every year to provide updated information on cancer occurrences and trends in Australia.
Actual number of cases and deaths is presented together with age-standardised rates for all cancers combined and selected cancer sites from 1982 to 2007, with projections to 2010. Differences in incidence and mortality rates according to age, Indigenous status and remoteness areas are also provided. In addition, change over time in 5-year relative survival estimates for those diagnosed with cancer is presented, as is information on the participation in Australia's national screening programs for breast, cervical and bowel cancer. The term 'cancer' is used to refer to primary tumours which are invasive.
In 2007, a total of 108,368 new cases of cancer (excluding basal and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin) and 39,884 deaths from cancer occurred in Australia. Prostate cancer was the most commonly diagnosed cancer in males, while breast cancer was the most commonly diagnosed cancer in females. Lung cancer was by far the most common cause of cancer death in both males and females. In the last decade, cancer incidence rates increased in males and stabilised in females, while mortality rates decreased steadily. The overall incidence rate of cancer for Indigenous Australians was lower than that for non-indigenous Australians, while the overall mortality rate from cancer was higher. Furthermore, the 5-year relative survival for many cancers improved markedly from 1982-1986 to 1998-2004.
澳大利亚卫生与福利研究所和澳大拉西亚癌症登记协会每年合作，提供澳大利亚癌症发生情况和趋势的最新信息。
列出1982年至2007年所有癌症综合及特定癌症部位的实际病例数和死亡数以及年龄标准化率，并预测至2010年。还提供了按年龄、原住民身份和偏远地区划分的发病率和死亡率差异。此外，还列出了癌症确诊者5年相对生存率估计值随时间的变化，以及澳大利亚乳腺癌、宫颈癌和肠癌国家筛查项目的参与情况信息。术语“癌症”用于指侵袭性原发性肿瘤。
2007年，澳大利亚共发生108368例新发癌症病例（不包括皮肤基底细胞癌和鳞状细胞癌），39884人死于癌症。前列腺癌是男性中最常被诊断出的癌症，而乳腺癌是女性中最常被诊断出的癌症。肺癌是男性和女性中迄今为止最常见的癌症死亡原因。在过去十年中，男性癌症发病率上升，女性发病率稳定，而死亡率稳步下降。澳大利亚原住民的总体癌症发病率低于非原住民，而总体癌症死亡率则较高。此外，从1982 - 1986年到1998 - 2004年，许多癌症的5年相对生存率显著提高。
