PEER REVIEWED
A pair of bivariate choropleth maps of the US displaying state-level lung cancer incidence rates and AAPC from 2010 through 2019, with Map A showing results for female adults and Map B showing results for male adults. The lowest incidence and fastest declines in incidence were observed in the West.
2010–2019 US age-adjusted state-level lung cancer incidence rates per 100,000 standard population with average annual percent change (AAPC) for female adults (Map A) and male adults (Map B). Incidence and AAPC range from lowest, A1, to highest, C3. Source: US Cancer Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (10).
A pair of bivariate choropleth maps of the US, displaying state-level proportion and AAPC of lung cancers diagnosed at localized-only stage from 2010 through 2019, with Map A showing results for female adults and Map B showing results for male adults. The state-level proportions of lung cancers diagnosed at localized only stage were generally higher for female adults relative to male adults.
