The Connecticut Department of Public Health today announced an online database on cancer incidence and mortality rates for the state and each of its eight counties.
The “Cancer Incidence and Mortality in Connecticut” resource produces tables with cancer rates for each of the state’s counties, and county maps colored according to the range of cancer rates for each type of cancer.
The website allows users to obtain maps and tables of data on cancer incidence and mortality rates. Years of diagnosis or death can be selected (1973 through 2005), along with a specific cancer “site” (type of cancer), a specific county or counties, and race/ethnicity.
