Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if there's a website that shows ALS statistics cases by year. Like for example you can look up cancer SEER facts that shows every type of cancer diagnosed in the US by age, race, etc. Anyone know of a site like this for ALS? Thanks!! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Not that i Know of, it's ashame there are not detailed records readily avaiable.

It only shows how unknown ALS is to the public. I do however think it's now ALS's turn to get attention. It seems attention is getting picked up, now that AIDS, MS and Cancer are pretty treatable.

IMO, ALS is one of the few diseases that have NO reliable treatement.

Rgds,

Jamie

I wonder if ALSA would have any statistics they'd share?
