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”.

Death rate has been age-adjusted by the 2000 U.S. standard population. Single-year data are only available for Los Angeles County overall, Service Planning Areas, Supervisorial Districts, City of Los Angeles overall, and City of Los Angeles Council Districts.Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death in the US. People who smoke have the greatest risk of lung cancer, though lung cancer can also occur in people who have never smoked. Most cases are due to long-term tobacco smoking or exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke. Cities and communities can take an active role in curbing tobacco use and reducing lung cancer by adopting policies to regulate tobacco retail; reducing exposure to secondhand smoke in outdoor public spaces, such as parks, restaurants, or in multi-unit housing; and improving access to tobacco cessation programs and other preventive services.For more information about the Community Health Profiles Data Initiative, please see the initiative homepage.

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. See the 2005 National Air Toxic Assessment website for recommended usage and limitations on the estimated cancer and noncancer data provided above. USEPA's NonAttainment areas data. 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.

Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, is the second leading cause of lung cancer after tobacco smoke and the leading cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers in the United States. Radon is an under-recognized health concern in Alaska. This online map serves as a guide to where radon may occur; however, indoor radon concentrations can vary greatly from building to building. The only way to know if your home contains radon is to test. More information is available at http://dggs.alaska.gov/hazards/radon.html.The State of Alaska, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys is growing an Alaska Radon Database that contains radon test results from buildings located in communities all over the State. This map contains four layers of hexagons displaying test-result statistics at the scales of 1,024, 256, 64, and 16 square kilometers. These layers display in turn as you zoom into the map. Hexagons are colored based on the average (mean) of the indoor-air radon test results that are located in each hexagon. Where multiple test results are available at an individual test location (building), the maximum value is used. As of September 30, 2019, test results were available for 1,737 individual buildings statewide. Hexagons containing fewer than 10 results are labelled with “LC”, meaning “Low Count”. Hexagons may be selected to show additional statistics.The map also contains a radon-potential layer modeled from available test results and three statewide datasets, uranium in soils and sediments, depth to water table (and permafrost), and geology. More information about this layer will be available in forthcoming metadata. This map should not be used to determine whether to test your home. No matter where you live, test your home for radon. Buildings located in any radon-potential zone may concentrate radon gas, leading to significant levels of indoor radon at that site.This web map is included in the following web app: https://geoportal.dggs.dnr.alaska.gov/portal/home/item.html?id=8ed4e400e2d9460c8cf959deb91ee22b

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 (https://www.epa.gov/c-ferst and https://www.epa.gov/tribal-ferst)). The following data sources (and layers) are contained in this service: USEPA's 2011 National-Scale Air Toxic Assessment (NATA) data. Data are shown at the census tract level (2010 census tract boundaries, US Census Bureau) for Cumulative Cancer and Non-Cancer Respiratory risks 180 air toxics. In addition, individual pollutant estimates of Ambient Concentration, Exposure Concentration, Cancer Risk, and Non-Cancer Risk (Neurological and Respiratory) are provided for: Acetaldehyde, Acrolein, Arsenic, Benzene, 1,3-Butadiene, Chromium, Diesel particulate matter (PM), Formaldehyde, Lead, Naphthalene, and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH). The original data were downloaded from USEPA's Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) (https://www.epa.gov/national-air-toxics-assessment/2011-nata-assessment-results). The data classification for this web service were developed for USEPA's Office of Research and Development's (ORD) C-FERST per guidance provided by OAR. The NATA is EPA's comprehensive evaluation of air toxics in the United States, based on modeled air quality. EPA developed the NATA as a tool for EPA and State/Local/Tribal Agencies to prioritize air toxics, emission sources, and locations of interest for further study in order to gain a better understanding of risks. NATA is a state-of-the-science screening tool that does not incorporate refined information about emission sources, but rather, uses general information about sources to develop estimates of risks using analytical methods. NATA assessments provide screening-level estimates of the risk of cancer and other serious health effects from breathing (inhaling) air toxics in order to inform both national and more localized efforts to identify and prioritize air toxics, emission source types, and locations that are of greatest potential concern in terms of contribution to population risk. This helps air pollution experts focus limited analytical resources on areas or populations where the potential for health risks are highest. NATA provides a snapshot of the outdoor air quality and the risks to human health that would result if air toxic emission levels remained unchanged. A more detailed explanation of NATA and the methods used may be found in the Technical Support Document (https://www.epa.gov/national-air-toxics-assessment/2011-nata-technical-support-document). See the NATA Homepage (https://www.epa.gov/national-air-toxics-assessment) for additional information, including an overview (https://www.epa.gov/national-air-toxics-assessment/nata-overview), limitations (https://www.epa.gov/national-air-toxics-assessment/nata-limitations), frequent questions (https://www.epa.gov/national-air-toxics-assessment/nata-frequent-questions), and glossary (https://www.epa.gov/national-air-toxics-assessment/nata-glossary-terms).

The PLACES (Population Level Analysis and Community Estimates) is an expansion of the original 500 Cities project and is a collaboration between the CDC, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), and the CDC Foundation (CDCF). The original 500 Cities Project provided city- and census tract-level estimates for chronic disease risk factors (5), health outcomes (13), and clinical preventive services use (9) for the 500 largest US cities. The PLACES Project extends these estimates to all counties, places (incorporated and census designated places), census tracts and ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTA) across the United States. Data were provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of Population Health, Epidemiology and Surveillance Branch. Data sources used to generate these measures include BRFSS data (2018 or 2017), Census Bureau 2010 census population data or annual population estimates for county vintage 2018 or 2017, and American Community Survey (ACS) 2014-2018 or 2013-2017 estimates.The health outcomes include arthritis, current asthma, high blood pressure, cancer (excluding skin cancer), high cholesterol, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), coronary heart disease, diagnosed diabetes, mental health not good for >=14 days, physical health not good for >=14 days, all teeth lost and stroke.The preventive services uses include lack of health insurance, visits to doctor for routine checkup, visits to dentist, taking medicine for high blood pressure control, cholesterol screening, mammography use for women, cervical cancer screening for women, colon cancer screening, and core preventive services use for older adults (men and women).The unhealthy behaviors include binge drinking, current smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, and sleeping less than 7 hours.For more information about the methodology, visit https://www.cdc.gov/places or contact places@cdc.gov.CDC's source webpage.CDC's feature service.
