Ideas in this flowchart

  • Geographic gaps in cancer outcomes and prevention are widening.
  • Cancer death rates show a 48% gap across states.
  • Rates range from 122 per 100,000 in UT and HI to 180 in KY.
  • The gap is driven largely by lung cancer.
  • The geographic pattern mirrors smoking prevalence.
  • Cervical cancer incidence varies two-fold across states.
  • Incidence is 6 per 100,000 in MA and NH versus 14–15 in MS, OK, AR, and LA.
  • This variation occurs despite cervical cancer being largely preventable.
  • HPV vaccination coverage varies substantially across states.
  • Coverage ranges from 38% in MS to 84% in RI.
  • HPV vaccination coverage directly mirrors cervical cancer rates.

"Geographic gaps are widening. Cancer death rates range from 122 per 100,000 (UT, HI) to 180 (KY) – a 48% gap driven largely by lung cancer and mirrors smoking prevalence. Cervical cancer incidence varies two-fold across states (6 per 100,000 in MA/NH vs. 14-15 in MS/OK/AR/LA), despite being largely preventable. HPV vaccination coverage ranges from 38% in MS to 84% in RI, directly mirroring cervical cancer rates."
