Table 6.

National cost projections for all cancer sites combined through 2030 by sex using different scenarios for projections of incidence and survival. National costs for medical services (Medicare Parts A and B), oral prescription drugs (Medicare Part D) and total costs (Medicare Parts A, B, and D) by sex. Percent increase from 2015. Costs are in 2019 Billion dollars.
