Description

The Louisiana Tumor Registry (LTR) is pleased to present Volume 38 of its annual Cancer in Louisiana monograph series, documenting cancer incidence and mortality from 2016 to 2020 in Louisiana as well as incidence and mortality trends from 1988 to 2020. Survival statistics are for cases diagnosed from 2009 to 2019 and followed into 2020. Prevalence is also presented for cancer cases diagnosed from January 1, 2000 to January 1, 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted access to medical care. This resulted in a delay in cancer diagnoses for the year 2020, which we see in the decline in incidence rates for diagnosis year 2020. Thus, caution is advised when interpreting data from diagnosis year 2020.
