Cancer Mapping Data: 2011-2015

The Cancer Mapping data consists of counts of newly diagnosed cancer among New York State residents and is in response to legislation regarding "Cancer incidence and environmental facility maps" signed into law in 2010 (Public Health Law §2401-B). The law specifies the publication of maps showing cancer counts for small geographic areas along with certain facilities regulated by the State Department of Environmental Conservation. The official web site is called Environmental Facilities and Cancer Mapping. The dataset is ONLY for the cancer-related data fields on the Environmental Facilities and Cancer Mapping web site. This dataset includes observed counts for 23 separate anatomical sites at the level of census block group. Block groups are small geographic areas typically averaging 1,000 to 1,500 people. To protect confidentiality, each area contains a minimum of 6 total cancers among males and 6 total cancers among females.

癌症映射数据集（Cancer Mapping data）收录纽约州居民的新发癌症计数数据，旨在响应2010年签署的《癌症发病率与环境设施地图》相关立法（《公共卫生法》第2401-B条）。该立法明确要求发布展示小型地理区域癌症计数的地图，并配套标注纽约州环境保护部监管的各类设施。其官方网站命名为“环境设施与癌症映射”（Environmental Facilities and Cancer Mapping）。本数据集仅涵盖该网站内与癌症相关的数据字段。本数据集包含人口普查街区组（census block group）层级下23个独立解剖部位的观测计数。街区组属于小型地理区域，平均人口规模通常为1000至1500人。为保护数据隐私，每个区域的男性癌症总例数与女性癌症总例数均不得少于6例。如需获取更多详细信息，请访问http://www.health.ny.gov/statistics/cancer/registry/about.htm。
