Common Cancers Examined in Metropolitan and Non-metropolitan Counties

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a new United States Cancer Statistics report examining cancer incidence and death rates in the U.S. from 2018–2022.  Deaths for each of the common cancer types were higher in non-metropolitan (rural) counties than in metropolitan counties.  The report includes a data visualization tool that allows you to filter the data by age and sex as well as rurality.
