We hope that this visualization tool will help identify trends in cancer incidence and mortality rates between 1999 and 2019 in the United States. We focus specifically on showing cancer incidence and mortality rates by 4 factors: state, gender, age groups, and race.
Our visualizations can be used by those who are interested in cancer trends, particularly how these 4 factors may impact incidence and mortality rates. Being aware of these trends can help us identify future areas of improvement for cancer prevention and detection strategies.
What tasks can be accomplished with the visualizations?
- Identify which areas have the highest incidence and mortality rates
- Identify which age groups have the highest incidence and mortality rates
- Identify which gender has the highest incidence and mortality rates
- Identify which cancers have the highest incidence and mortality rates
- Develop an understanding of how incidence and mortality rates have changed over time, given different location and demographic information.
