2019 WV Cancer Burden Report Released

WVU Cancer Institute's Cancer Prevention and Control, in collaboration with the West Virginia Cancer Registry, has released the 2019 West Virginia Cancer Burden Report. The report provides updated statewide, age-adjusted incidence rates and counts for cancer diagnosed among West Virginia residents from 2012 to 2016.

The annual report is a valuable resource for public health professionals as well as clinicians as it includes updates on incidence and mortality, county-level rates, and an in-depth look at eight different cancer-related topics. Included in the report are summaries, one-page infographics, and resource pages for breast cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, HPV-associated cancers, and tobacco-related cancers. The report is available on the WV Cancer Registry website.
