In 2019, the rate of new cancer cases in Australia is expected to reach 483 new cases per 100,000 people, while cancer-related deaths are expected to decrease to 159 per 100,000 people. From 1982 to 2019, thyroid cancer and liver cancer incidence rates increased more than for any other cancer. Although liver cancer survival has improved since 1982, with the increasing liver cancer incidence rate, liver cancer mortality rates also increased more than for any other cancer.
