Did You Know? Video Series: Informing the public about key cancer statistics

The Did You Know? Video Series provide 2- to 3-minute informational videos on various cancer topics. The videos communicate key statistical data on different types of cancers to a lay audience in understandable, clear, and concise language. Each video also provides background information on cancer types and risk factors, and encourages action when appropriate. Incidence rates, mortality rates, 5-year relative survival rates, geospatial patterns, and other relevant statistics are highlighted in these videos. The data and information shown in this series comes from SEER, the Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer, gis.cancer.gov, cancer.gov, and other government sources including CDC.

There are currently 16 videos in the Did You Know? Video Series. Some videos focus on specific cancer types such as Leukemia and Thyroid Cancer while others describe overarching topics like Cancer Health Disparities, Cancer Statistics, and Survivorship. Please share these videos and use this as a resource within your networks. Follow the National Cancer Institute's YouTube page or @NCICancerStats on Twitter to stay up to date on the most recent Did You Know? Videos.
