Stats by type of cancer and by state would be a bonus.
Thank you for you assistance.

The CDC has a Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report summary for cancer deaths from 1990-2000.

This is a choice that has to be made by the individual. When cancer is in Stage IV the prognosis is not good. But prayers can be answered. I know of several people that have been given 6 mts to a year to live and found other treatment and are doing well and still living after many years. There are new treatments and drugs developed all the time. Have you checked a clinic out in Houston, Not sure of the name of the clinic but I had a friend that my same oncologist game him a year to live so he check the Houston area and went to a clinic and he's now eating and has gone back to work and is doing well. Not cancer free but they did get alot of the tumors that had spread through his body. He was at one time on a feeding tube and unable to walk. Prayer also helps!

The National Cancer Institute has an extensive statistical site. Mortality data are at
http://seer.cancer.gov/faststats/sites.php?site=All+Cancer+Sites&stat=Mortality, current to 2003. Back up from that page to find other reports, including some stats for 2006 (which may not be interactive like Fast Stats at the site above).
Also see the American Cancer Society reports at
http://www.cancer.org/docroot/STT/stt_0_2006.asp?sitearea=STT&level=1 -- especially "Cancer Facts and Figures 2006" which contains links to pdf files of tables and graphs, including "Estimated New Cancer Cases and Deaths by Sex for All Sites, US, 2006"
There are also breakdown tables by state and by site.
