US Incidence Maps

When you cannot cure it, study it . . . One thing the US National Cancer Institute (NCI) has done since 1950 is plot the deaths from various cancers by US state. Thus, possible "hot zones" could be identified. I have my doubts as to the usefulness of this approach given modern molecular analysis machines, etc. I mean, would the CSI team look for crooks based on where they have committed a crime or by the lab analysis?



Here are some links to maps to see where you might live and how many of your neighbors might have been affected also:
