    Description

    Cancer was responsible for around *** deaths per 100,000 population in the United States in 2023. The death rate for cancer has steadily decreased since the 1990’s, but cancer still remains the second leading cause of death in the United States. The deadliest type of cancer for both men and women is cancer of the lung and bronchus which will account for an estimated ****** deaths among men alone in 2025. Probability of surviving Survival rates for cancer vary significantly depending on the type of cancer. The cancers with the highest rates of survival include cancers of the thyroid, prostate, and testis, with five-year survival rates as high as ** percent for thyroid cancer. The cancers with the lowest five-year survival rates include cancers of the pancreas, liver, and esophagus. Risk factors It is difficult to determine why one person develops cancer while another does not, but certain risk factors have been shown to increase a person’s chance of developing cancer. For example, cigarette smoking has been proven to increase the risk of developing various cancers. In fact, around ** percent of cancers of the lung, bronchus and trachea among adults aged 30 years and older can be attributed to cigarette smoking. Other modifiable risk factors for cancer include being obese, drinking alcohol, and sun exposure.

    County Cancer Death Rates

    County-level cancer death rates with related variables

    By Noah Rippner [source]

    About this dataset

    This dataset provides comprehensive information on county-level cancer death and incidence rates, as well as various related variables. It includes data on age-adjusted death rates, average deaths per year, recent trends in cancer death rates, recent 5-year trends in death rates, and average annual counts of cancer deaths or incidence. The dataset also includes the federal information processing standards (FIPS) codes for each county.

    Additionally, the dataset indicates whether each county met the objective of a targeted death rate of 45.5. The recent trend in cancer deaths or incidence is also captured for analysis purposes.

    The purpose of the death.csv file within this dataset is to offer detailed information specifically concerning county-level cancer death rates and related variables. On the other hand, the incd.csv file contains data on county-level cancer incidence rates and additional relevant variables.

    To provide more context and understanding about the included data points, there is a separate file named cancer_data_notes.csv. This file serves to provide informative notes and explanations regarding the various aspects of the cancer data used in this dataset.

    Please note that this particular description provides an overview for a linear regression walkthrough using this dataset based on Python programming language. It highlights how to source and import the data properly before moving into data preparation steps such as exploratory analysis. The walkthrough further covers model selection and important model diagnostics measures.

    It's essential to bear in mind that this example serves as an initial attempt at creating a multivariate Ordinary Least Squares regression model using these datasets from various sources like cancer.gov along with US Census American Community Survey data. This baseline model allows easy comparisons with future iterations intended for improvements or refinements.

    Important columns found within this extensively documented Kaggle dataset include County names along with their corresponding FIPS codes—a standardized coding system by Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). Moreover,Met Objective of 45.5? (1) column denotes whether a specific county achieved the targeted objective of a death rate of 45.5 or not.

    Overall, this dataset aims to offer valuable insights into county-level cancer death and incidence rates across various regions, providing policymakers, researchers, and healthcare professionals with essential information for analysis and decision-making purposes

    How to use the dataset

    • Familiarize Yourself with the Columns:

      • County: The name of the county.
      • FIPS: The Federal Information Processing Standards code for the county.
      • Met Objective of 45.5? (1): Indicates whether the county met the objective of a death rate of 45.5 (Boolean).
      • Age-Adjusted Death Rate: The age-adjusted death rate for cancer in the county.
      • Average Deaths per Year: The average number of deaths per year due to cancer in the county.
      • Recent Trend (2): The recent trend in cancer death rates/incidence in the county.

    About this dataset

    In the following maps, the U.S. states are divided into groups based on the rates at which people developed or died from cancer in 2013, the most recent year for which incidence data are available.

    The rates are the numbers out of 100,000 people who developed or died from cancer each year.

    Incidence Rates by State
    The number of people who get cancer is called cancer incidence. In the United States, the rate of getting cancer varies from state to state.

    • *Rates are per 100,000 and are age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population.

    • ‡Rates are not shown if the state did not meet USCS publication criteria or if the state did not submit data to CDC.

    This dataset contains Cancer Incidence data for Breast Cancer (Late Stage^) including: Age-Adjusted Rate, Confidence Interval, Average Annual Count, and Trend field information for US States for the average 5 year span from 2016 to 2020.Data are for females segmented by age (All Ages, Ages Under 50, Ages 50 & Over, Ages Under 65, and Ages 65 & Over), with field names and aliases describing the sex and age group tabulated.For more information, visit statecancerprofiles.cancer.govData NotationsState Cancer Registries may provide more current or more local data.TrendRising when 95% confidence interval of average annual percent change is above 0.Stable when 95% confidence interval of average annual percent change includes 0.Falling when 95% confidence interval of average annual percent change is below 0.† Incidence rates (cases per 100,000 population per year) are age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population (19 age groups: <1, 1-4, 5-9, ... , 80-84, 85+). Rates are for invasive cancer only (except for bladder cancer which is invasive and in situ) or unless otherwise specified. Rates calculated using SEER*Stat. Population counts for denominators are based on Census populations as modified by NCI. The US Population Data File is used for SEER and NPCR incidence rates.‡ Incidence Trend data come from different sources. Due to different years of data availability, most of the trends are AAPCs based on APCs but some are APCs calculated in SEER*Stat. Please refer to the source for each area for additional information.Rates and trends are computed using different standards for malignancy. For more information see malignant.^ Late Stage is defined as cases determined to be regional or distant. Due to changes in stage coding, Combined Summary Stage (2004+) is used for data from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) databases and Merged Summary Stage is used for data from National Program of Cancer Registries databases. Due to the increased complexity with staging, other staging variables maybe used if necessary.Data Source Field Key(1) Source: National Program of Cancer Registries and Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results SEER*Stat Database - United States Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Cancer Institute.

    Description

    BackgroundThe 5-year survival rate of cancer patients is the most commonly used statistic to reflect improvements in the war against cancer. This idea, however, was refuted based on an analysis showing that changes in 5-year survival over time bear no relationship with changes in cancer mortality.MethodsHere we show that progress in the fight against cancer can be evaluated by analyzing the association between 5-year survival rates and mortality rates normalized by the incidence (mortality over incidence, MOI). Changes in mortality rates are caused by improved clinical management as well as changing incidence rates, and since the latter can mask the effects of the former, it can also mask the correlation between survival and mortality rates. However, MOI is a more robust quantity and reflects improvements in cancer outcomes by overcoming the masking effect of changing incidence rates. Using population-based statistics for the US and the European Nordic countries, we determined the association of changes in 5-year survival rates and MOI.ResultsWe observed a strong correlation between changes in 5-year survival rates of cancer patients and changes in the MOI for all the countries tested. This finding demonstrates that there is no reason to assume that the improvements in 5-year survival rates are artificial. We obtained consistent results when examining the subset of cancer types whose incidence did not increase, suggesting that over-diagnosis does not obscure the results.ConclusionsWe have demonstrated, via the negative correlation between changes in 5-year survival rates and changes in MOI, that increases in 5-year survival rates reflect real improvements over time made in the clinical management of cancer. Furthermore, we found that increases in 5-year survival rates are not predominantly artificial byproducts of lead-time bias, as implied in the literature. The survival measure alone can therefore be used for a rough approximation of the amount of progress in the clinical management of cancer, but should ideally be used with other measures.

    Description

    Medical Service Study Areas (MSSAs)As defined by California's Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) in 2013, "MSSAs are sub-city and sub-county geographical units used to organize and display population, demographic and physician data" (Source). Each census tract in CA is assigned to a given MSSA. The most recent MSSA dataset (2014) was used. Spatial data are available via OSHPD at the California Open Data Portal. This information may be useful in studying health equity.Age-Adjusted Incidence Rate (AAIR)Age-adjustment is a statistical method that allows comparisons of incidence rates to be made between populations with different age distributions. This is important since the incidence of most cancers increases with age. An age-adjusted cancer incidence (or death) rate is defined as the number of new cancers (or deaths) per 100,000 population that would occur in a certain period of time if that population had a 'standard' age distribution. In the California Health Maps, incidence rates are age-adjusted using the U.S. 2000 Standard Population.Cancer incidence ratesIncidence rates were calculated using case counts from the California Cancer Registry. Population data from 2010 Census and SEER 2015 census tract estimates by race/origin (controlling to Vintage 2015) were used to estimate population denominators. Yearly SEER 2015 census tract estimates by race/origin (controlling to Vintage 2015) were used to estimate population denominators for 5-year incidence rates (2013-2017)According to California Department of Public Health guidelines, cancer incidence rates cannot be reported if based on <15 cancer cases and/or a population <10,000 to ensure confidentiality and stable statistical rates.Spatial extent: CaliforniaSpatial Unit: MSSACreated: n/aUpdated: n/aSource: California Health MapsContact Email: gbacr@ucsf.eduSource Link: https://www.californiahealthmaps.org/?areatype=mssa&address=&sex=Both&site=AllSite&race=&year=05yr&overlays=none&choropleth=Obesity

    Description

    The interannual variability of SMR for a given administrative unit might be large under small populations. Indeed, being the SMR a rate standardized over the population size, the expected mortality (i.e., Em) in small populations will result low (say 10-2) and in turn, according to eq. (1), even a few deaths (say 1 or 2) in a year could yield a relatively high SMR as shown in Figure 3. For this reason, we recommend avoiding using single-year estimates and using the average SMR and/or lower 90% or 95% confidence intervals.

Description

Cancer was responsible for around *** deaths per 100,000 population in the United States in 2023. The death rate for cancer has steadily decreased since the 1990’s, but cancer still remains the second leading cause of death in the United States. The deadliest type of cancer for both men and women is cancer of the lung and bronchus which will account for an estimated ****** deaths among men alone in 2025. Probability of surviving Survival rates for cancer vary significantly depending on the type of cancer. The cancers with the highest rates of survival include cancers of the thyroid, prostate, and testis, with five-year survival rates as high as ** percent for thyroid cancer. The cancers with the lowest five-year survival rates include cancers of the pancreas, liver, and esophagus. Risk factors It is difficult to determine why one person develops cancer while another does not, but certain risk factors have been shown to increase a person’s chance of developing cancer. For example, cigarette smoking has been proven to increase the risk of developing various cancers. In fact, around ** percent of cancers of the lung, bronchus and trachea among adults aged 30 years and older can be attributed to cigarette smoking. Other modifiable risk factors for cancer include being obese, drinking alcohol, and sun exposure.
