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.

该癌症映射数据集包含了纽约州居民中新诊断癌症的统计数据，作为对2010年（公共卫生法第2401-B节）通过的“癌症发病率和环境设施地图”相关立法的响应。该法律规定了发布展示小地理区域内癌症计数以及受州环境保护部门监管的特定设施的地图。官方网站被称为环境设施与癌症映射。

本数据集仅包含环境设施与癌症映射网站上与癌症相关的数据字段。该数据集包括在人口普查小区组层面的23个独立解剖部位的观察计数。小区组是典型的较小地理区域，平均人口约为1000至1500人。为保护隐私，每个区域中男性癌症总数至少为6例，女性癌症总数至少为6例。
