Users can access data about cancer statistics in the United States including but not limited to searches by type of cancer and race, sex, ethnicity, age at diagnosis, and age at death. Background Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database’s mission is to provide information on cancer statistics to help reduce the burden of disease in the U.S. population. The SEER database is a project to the National Cancer Institute. The SEER database collects information on incidence, prevalence, and survival from specific geographic areas representing 28 percent of the United States population. User functionality Users can access a variety of reso urces. Cancer Stat Fact Sheets allow users to look at summaries of statistics by major cancer type. Cancer Statistic Reviews are available from 1975-2008 in table format. Users are also able to build their own tables and graphs using Fast Stats. The Cancer Query system provides more flexibility and a larger set of cancer statistics than F ast Stats but requires more input from the user. State Cancer Profiles include dynamic maps and graphs enabling the investigation of cancer trends at the county, state, and national levels. SEER research data files and SEER*Stat software are available to download through your Internet connection (SEER*Stat’s client-server mode) or via discs shipped directly to you. A signed data agreement form is required to access the SEER data Data Notes Data is available in different formats depending on which type of data is accessed. Some data is available in table, PDF, and html formats. Detailed information about the data is available under “Data Documentation and Variable Recodes”.

The Tropic of Cancer lies at 23d 26' 22" (23.4394 degrees) north of the Equator and marks the most northerly latitude at which the sun can appear directly overhead at noon. This event occurs at the June solstice, when the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun to its maximum extent. The Earth's tropical zone ("the tropics") includes everything between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.

The State Cancer Profiles (SCP) web site provides statistics to help guide and prioritize cancer control activities at the state and local levels. SCP is a collaborative effort using local and national level cancer data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) and National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Registries (SEER). SCP address select types of cancer and select behavioral risk factors for which there are evidence-based control interventions. The site provides incidence, mortality and prevalence comparison tables as well as interactive graphs and maps and support data. The graphs and maps provide visual support for deciding where to focus cancer control efforts.

description: This map service displays all air-related layers used in the USEPA Community/Tribal-Focused Exposure and Risk Screening Tool (C/T-FERST) mapping application (http://cfpub.epa.gov/cferst/index.cfm). The following data sources (and layers) are contained in this service: USEPA's 2005 National-Scale Air Toxic Assessment (NATA) data. Data are shown at the census tract level (2000 census tract boundaries, US Census Bureau) for Cumulative Cancer and Non-Cancer risks (Neurological and Respiratory) from 139 air toxics. In addition, individual pollutant estimates of Ambient Concentration, Exposure Concentration, Cancer, and Non-Cancer risks (Neurological and Respiratory) are provided for: Acetaldehyde, Acrolein, Arsenic, Benzene, 1,3-Butadiene, Chromium, Diesel PM, Formaldehyde, Lead, Naphthalene, and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH). The original Access tables were downloaded from USEPA's Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/nata2005/tables.html. The data classification (defined interval) for this map service was developed for USEPA's Office of Research and Development's (ORD) Community-Focused Exposure and Risk Screening Tool (C-FERST) per guidance provided by OAR. The 2005 NATA provides information on 177 of the 187 Clean Air Act air toxics (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/nata2005/05pdf/2005polls.pdf) plus diesel particulate matter (diesel PM was assessed for non-cancer only). For additional information about NATA, go to http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/nata2005/05pdf/nata_tmd.pdf or contact Ted Palma, USEPA (palma.ted@epa.gov). NATA data disclaimer: USEPA strongly cautions that these modeling results are most meaningful when viewed at the state or national level, and should not be used to draw conclusions about local exposures or risks (e.g., to compare local areas, to identify the exact location of "hot spots", or to revise or design emission reduction programs). Substantial uncertainties with the input data for these models may cause the results to misrepresent actual risks, especially at the census tract level. However, we believe the census tract data and maps can provide a useful approximation of geographic patterns of variation in risk within counties. For example, a cluster of census tracts with higher estimated risks may suggest the existence of a "hot spot," although the specific tracts affected will be uncertain. More refined assessments based on additional data and analysis would be needed to better characterize such risks at the tract level. (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/nata2005/countyxls/cancer_risk02_county_042009.xls). Note that these modeled estimates are derived from outdoor sources only; indoor sources are not included in these examples, but may be significant in some cases. The modeled exposure estimates are for a median individual in the geographic area shown. Note that in some cases the estimated relationship between human exposure and health effect may be calculated as a high end estimate, and thus may be more likely to overestimate than underestimate actual health effects for the median individual in the geographic area shown. Other limitations to consider when looking at the results are detailed on the EPA 2005 NATA website. For these reasons, the NATA maps included in C-FERST are provided for screening purposes only.

C-FERST displays Ozone for 8-hour Ozone based on the 1997 standard for reporting and Particulate Matter PM-2.5 based on the 2006 standard for reporting. These are areas of the country where air pollution levels consistently exceed the national ambient air quality standards. Details about the USEPA's NonAttainment data are available at http://www.epa.gov/airquality/greenbook/index.html. Center of Disease Control's (CDC) Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT) data. Averaged over three years (2004 - 2006). The USEPA's ORD calculated a three-year average (2004 - 2006) using the values for Ozone (number of days with the maximum 8-hour average above the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)) and PM 2.5 (annual ambient concentration). These data were extracted by the CDC from the USEPA's ambient air monitors and are displayed at the county level. USEPA received the Monitor and Modeled data from the CDC and calculated the three year average displayed in the web service.

Tn antigen (CD175), recognized as the precursor monosaccharide (α-GalNAc) of mucin O-glycan, is a well-known tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen (TACA). It has emerged as a potential biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. However, the role it plays in cancer biology remains elusive due to the absence of a sensitive and selective detection method. In this study, we synthesized two new probes based on a unique uridine-5′-diphospho-α-d-galactose (UDP-Gal) derivative, each functionalized with either a fluorescence or a cleavable biotin tag, to develop an innovative one-step enzymatic labeling strategy, enabling the visualization, enrichment, and site-specific mapping of the Tn antigen with unparalleled sensitivity and specificity. Our versatile strategy has been successfully applied to detect and image Tn antigen across various samples, including the complex cell lysates, live cells, serum, and tissue samples. Compared to the traditional lectin method, this one-step enzymatic method is simpler and more efficient (>10/100-fold in sensitivity). Furthermore, it allowed us to map 454 Tn-glycoproteins and 624 Tn-glycosylation sites from HEK293FTn+ and Jurkat cells. Therefore, our strategy provides an exceptionally promising tool for revealing the biological functions of the Tn antigen and advancing cancer diagnostics.

By using this advisory, you have the necessary information to make an informed choice on the number of meals of fish to consume. You can reduce your risk further by eating less than the advisory meal frequency, however, this needs to be balanced with the health benefits of eating fish. The limits that follow each species assume that no other contaminated fish are being eaten. If you eat more than one species of fish listed in the advisory, the total consumption of fish should not exceed the recommended frequency as a guideline for consumption. The best approach is to use the lowest recommended frequency as a guideline for consumption. High Risk Individuals: Includes infants, children, pregnant women, nursing mothers and women of childbearing age. General Population: Includes all others not in the high-risk category. PCB advisories for the General Population are presented in meal frequencies (for example: one meal per month or four meals per year). This range is based on an estimated 1 in 10,000 risk of cancer during your lifetime from eating fish at the advisory level. This means that one additional cancer may occur in 10,000 people eating fish at the advisory level for a lifetime. If your specific fishing location is not mentioned within the advisories, this does not mean the fish are free of contamination. Not all New Jersey waters or fish species have been tested, and not all fish species were found in all locations, or in some cases available data were insufficient to list a species for a specific water body. If your fishing area is not mentioned in the guidelines, follow the statewide advisory for the listed species or follow the general freshwater advisory of not more than one meal per week for (general Population) or one meal per month (high-risk individuals) for freshwaters.
