Also I do not understand how SEER calculates "age-adjusted death rate per 100,000"

Sadly we have "age-adjusted rates" up to 2019 and "cases" in 2022, this may present a problem as this is not apples to apples?

Any idea how to overcome it?

I find your post to be very interesting. So please do not take my comments as something negative -- I want to make sure every number is defensible.

you have a typo "steve hirsch"

I do not understand logic and calculations of this paragraph:

Based on population figures here, I am able to determine that the 18-39yo age group represents 29.52% of the US population or about 97.5 million people. That gives us a projected 2022 rate of new cancers in this age group of (87,050/925) 89.28 for 2022. Again, this is a 21% increase in cancers that have been very stable (ranging from 62 to 76) over the last 28 years. I’m not going to photoshop another chart but you get the drift. This is unheard of.

I think that you have something real here. If I write about it I will definitely refer to you in a big rectangle link
