The last annual combined report from the American Cancer Society, NCI, CDC and NAACCR provided information on cancer rates and trends in United States from 1975 to 2002. This survey showed that among men the incidence rates for all cancer were stable, while among women they increased by 0.3% annually. On the other hand the overall cancer death rates decreased by 1.1% from 1993 through 2002.1 On this basis, there is a high number of patients surviving at long-term, at risk to develop a secondary acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes (t-AML/ MDS).
