Special Populations
Catchment Area Special populations
The figure below shows the respective age-adjusted incidence rate, from 2015 – 2019, for the top 15 cancer sites for the Catchment Area. Each cancer site is broken down by race and ethnicity to show similarities/difference between the rates for each group.
Disparities include prostate cancer incidence among Black/African American men compared to White men.
The Black/African American population has the highest incidence rates of prostate, colon & rectum, corpus uteri & uterus NOS, cervix uteri, and pancreas cancer.
