Annotation:

This website provides “a system to characterize the cancer burden in an standardized manner” and “brings together data that are collected from public health surveillance systems.” One may select a state and type of statistic to view data on incidence and mortality rates, comparisons with the general US population, and historical trends. It also includes comparison tables (rate/trend comparison tables, death rates, incidence rates), graphs and maps (5-year rate changes, comparative data display), and support data (screening and risk factors, demographic data).
