Projections of the Cost of Cancer Care in the United States: 2010–2020

TLDR
The national cost of cancer care is substantial and expected to increase because of population changes alone, and the total cost in 2020 is projected to be $173 billion, which represents a 39% increase from 2010.
Abstract
and 2020, respectively, with associated costs of cancer care of 124.57 and 157.77 billion 2010 US dollars. This 27% increase in medical costs reflects US population changes only. The largest increases were in the continuing phase of care for prostate cancer (42%) and female breast cancer (32%). Projections of current trends in incidence (declining) and survival (increasing) had small effects on 2020 estimates. However, if costs of care increase annually by 2% in the initial and last year of life phases of care, the total cost in 2020 is projected to be
