Atlas of Cancer Mortality in the United States
The NCI's Atlas of Cancer Mortality in the United States, 1950-94, shows the geographic patterns of cancer death rates in over 3,000 counties across the country over more than four decades. It contains the 254 color-coded maps (for about 40 cancers), that will make it easy for researchers and state health departments to identify places where high or low rates occur, and to uncover patterns of cancer that would escape notice if larger areas, such as states, were mapped. The atlas will not tell researchers why death rates are higher in certain localities than in others, but it will provide important clues for further in-depth studies into the causes and control of cancer.
