THE CANCER BURDEN IN NEW YORK:
Executive Summary

Cancer takes a devastating toll on New York State. One in two men and one in three women will
get a cancer diagnosis in their lifetimes. More than half of all these diagnoses will occur after
the age of 65. Cancer is the second most common cause of death after heart disease.

Yet surprisingly, there is too little public discussion of how New York should comprehensively
respond to a disease that causes so much suffering. This report examines existing public data
and identifies trends that will inform policymakers on how to reduce the number of new cases
(incidence) of cancer, increase access to quality cancer treatment and enhance the quality of life
for those suffering from the disease.

Four cancer sites represent more than half (51.6%) of all new cancer cases and nearly half (46%)
of all cancer deaths. They are: cancer of the lung, prostate, breast and colon/rectum. This report
examines the impact of these four cancers in detail.

Care should be taken to avoid over-interpreting findings that show large disparities in cancer
incidence and mortality. Apparent differences may be random variations not correctible by
standard statistical techniques. These data are based on residence at time of diagnosis. Cancer
may have a long latency period before reaching a clinically detectable stage, and between the
cancers initiation and its detection an individuals residence, personal behaviors and
occupation may have changed.

FINDINGS

Finding: It is estimated that more than 107,000 New Yorkers were diagnosed with cancer
in 2011 and that more than 34,000 died from the disease.

Finding: Prostate cancer is New Yorks most common cancer. Nearly 16,000 men were
diagnosed in 2011. Female breast cancer (15,710 new cases) and lung & bronchus cancers,
hereafter lung cancer, with 14,200 new cases, were the second and third most frequent,
respectively. There were 9,480 new cases of colon & rectum cancer, hereafter colorectal
cancer.

Finding: Lung cancer is the single largest cancer killer, causing nearly 9,000 deaths. Lung
cancer has a higher mortality rate than the other common malignancies and has been less
amenable to therapeutic advances. Colorectal and pancreatic cancers were the second and third
most frequent causes of mortality.

Finding: Four cancers - lung, prostate, breast and colorectal - account for more than half
of all cancer diagnoses and nearly half of all cancer deaths.

Finding: Overall, New York State has a higher cancer incidence rate than the nation as a
whole, but has a lower death rate. This difference is largely the result of declining lung cancer
incidence and death rates in New York City and its suburbs, but also is influenced by statewide

declining mortality due to colorectal (particularly in New York City) and female breast cancer.
This suggests that the regions aggressive anti-smoking efforts, as well as initiatives to increase
colorectal cancer screening, are important ingredients in the successes of New Yorks cancer
control efforts.

Finding: Cancer rates in upstate New York are generally higher than those found
downstate.

Finding: Differences in cancer rates are found among counties in New York. While direct
comparisons can show appreciable differences, low population numbers in many upstate
counties, which create large confidence intervals, make the value of such comparisons limited.

Men living in the counties of Cayuga, Chemung, Clinton, Cortland, Franklin, Greene, Jefferson,
Niagara, Oswego, Rensselaer, St. Lawrence, Schuyler, Steuben, and Washington experience the
highest rates of lung cancer, exceeding the state average. Men in the Bronx, Brooklyn,
Manhattan, Nassau, Queens, Rockland, and Westchester have the lowest incidence rates.

Women living in Putnam have higher breast cancer incidence rates than women living in the
Bronx, Brooklyn, Chenango, and Queens, who have the lowest rates.

Despite these ranges, no county should feel complacent. Cancer still impacts too many New
Yorkers and many cancer deaths are avoidable. Every county experiences cancer incidence and
mortality rates that are too high.

Finding: In addition to the emotional and physical toll that cancer has on patients and
their families, there can be an enormous financial impact. Almost one-third of cancer
patients have out-of-pocket health care costs totaling 10 percent or more of their family income.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Tobacco use is the most important single factor associated to lung and other cancers, as well as
other chronic diseases. Additionally, lifestyle-related behaviors (high consumption of unhealthy
foods and lack of physical activity, associated with excess body weight, as well as excessive
alcohol consumption) also are linked to increased risk of cancer diagnosis and death. Finally,
genetic factors, infections, and environmental exposures also play a role. Access to adequate
health care has a significant impact on an individuals chance of surviving cancer. There is a
clear need for policies that reduce the occurrence of cancer, help identify the disease at its
earliest (and often most treatable) phase, and to help alleviate the economic toll and improve
quality of life for those diagnosed with cancer.

Recommendations: Policies to Prevent Cancer
Reverse the decline in funding and prevent lung and other smoking-related cancers
by adequately supporting the New York State Tobacco Control Program. Lung
cancer is the number one cancer killer with the vast majority of cases caused by smoking.
Smoking also causes cancer of the oropharynx, larynx, esophagus, pancreas, bladder and
kidney. Smoking accounts for at least 30 percent of all cancer deaths. Additionally,
tobacco is estimated to cause $8.17 billion in annual health care costs in New York. Yet
New York has slashed its tobacco control budget from $85.5 million in FY 2007 08 to
$41.4 million in FY 2012 - 13. New York has fallen from 5
th
to 20
th
among states in per
capita spending on tobacco control. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
recommends that New York spend $254 million annually on anti-tobacco efforts. The
money exists to support this program in the form of more than $2 billion in revenues each
year from tobacco taxes and payments from the states lawsuit against the tobacco
companies.

Enact legislation (A.288a/S.5008) restricting the sale of flavored tobacco products to
stores not accessible by minors. Federal law prohibits the use of flavors other than
menthol in cigarettes, but other tobacco products, including snuff and cigars are
exempted. Manufacturers of snuff and cigars have long regarded flavored merchandise
as starter products from which teenage experimenters will graduate to adult brands.
An important function of flavorings is to mask from young users the harsh, toxic
properties of tobacco smoke and spit tobacco.

Help prevent kids from getting skin cancer by banning minors from using indoor
tanning facilities. Thousands of New Yorkers are diagnosed each year with the deadliest
form of skin cancer melanoma (an estimated 3,750 in 2011). Unfortunately, hundreds
die each year (an estimated 440). While this report does not examine melanoma in detail,
the latest scientific research has documented that the use of indoor tanning increases the
risk of melanoma and other skin cancers, the incidence of which is increasing rapidly in
New York. New York law should ban all minors up to the age of 18 from using indoor
tanning booths.

Reverse the obesity epidemic. Increasingly, scientific evidence is linking poor nutrition,
a sedentary lifestyle and consequent obesity with increased risk of several kinds of
cancer. Policymakers should promote policies designed to increase access to healthy
foods (fresh vegetables, fruits, etc.), particularly among poor communities, and create
incentives to encourage increased physical activity among New Yorkers (walkable
neighborhoods, alternative transportation arrangements, bike-lanes, etc.).

Recommendation: Enhance early detection of cancer.
Continue to provide adequate funding for the New York State Cancer Services
Program. Uninsured and underinsured New Yorkers have nowhere to turn to get
potentially life-saving breast, cervical and colon cancer screenings other than this
important program.

form of skin cancer melanoma (an estimated 3,750 in 2011). Unfortunately, hundreds
die each year (an estimated 440). While this report does not examine melanoma in detail,
the latest scientific research has documented that the use of indoor tanning increases the
risk of melanoma and other skin cancers, the incidence of which is increasing rapidly in
New York. New York law should ban all minors up to the age of 18 from using indoor
tanning booths.

Reverse the obesity epidemic. Increasingly, scientific evidence is linking poor nutrition,
a sedentary lifestyle and consequent obesity with increased risk of several kinds of
cancer. Policymakers should promote policies designed to increase access to healthy
foods (fresh vegetables, fruits, etc.), particularly among poor communities, and create
incentives to encourage increased physical activity among New Yorkers (walkable
neighborhoods, alternative transportation arrangements, bike-lanes, etc.).

Recommendation: Enhance early detection of cancer.
Continue to provide adequate funding for the New York State Cancer Services
Program. Uninsured and underinsured New Yorkers have nowhere to turn to get
potentially life-saving breast, cervical and colon cancer screenings other than this
important program.
4 | P a g e


Recommendation: Ease the economic toll from cancer.
Help ensure that cancer patients and other New Yorkers have access to adequate
health insurance coverage. Nearly three million New Yorkers lack health insurance.
For those with life-threatening illnesses, lack of coverage can be deadly. As mandated by
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, states have begun to create health
insurance exchanges that would pool the risk of the uninsured and small businesses and
negotiate with insurers to offer affordable, high quality coverage. These states are
modeling their programs on the exchange pioneered by Massachusetts. The federal
government will fund the states costs of creating these exchanges. Governor Cuomo has
taken the first step toward covering the uninsured with the Executive Order creating New
Yorks exchange. In order to ensure its long-term stability, policymakers should codify
its creation.

Medicaid provides vitally important health care services to more than 93,000 New
Yorkers with cancer, more than half of them below age 65.
1
Reducing benefits and
increasing out-of-pocket costs can affect patients ability to get needed care.
Recommendations: Improve cancer patients quality of life.
Palliative care and pain management. Promoting quality of life and preventing
suffering for every patient, in every care setting, and for every type of illness, particularly
chronic diseases, are essential aspects of delivering high quality, patient-centered care.
Todays health system often falls short in addressing pain, physical symptoms, emotional
concerns, and other chronic care needs. These needs increasingly are the norm for cancer
patients, and their caregivers. Quality of life needs can now span over many years, or
even decades.

Although the reasons for inadequate management of quality of life issues among the
seriously ill are many, most stem from a medical culture focused on curing individual
diseases and a system that is designed to reimburse disease-specific care.

Support enhanced education of health care providers about the benefits, dangers
and proper use of pain medication. State policymakers and professional societies
should adopt and disseminate guidelines encouraging proper pain management. Proper
management means ensuring that pain medications are available to patients who need
them while keeping those medications away from those who intend to misuse them. Pain
management is an essential part of medical practice and patient quality of life. Policy and
practice barriers should not stand in the way of effective pain control.

THE CANCER BURDEN IN NEW YORK:
OVERALL CANCER STATISTICS

Cancer takes a devastating toll on New York State. Nationally, one in two men and one in three
women will get a cancer diagnosis in their lifetimes. More than half of all these diagnoses will
occur after the age of 65.
2


Yet while specific issues have been addressed and the New York State Department of Health has
issued a comprehensive cancer plan, there has been too little public discussion of how New York
should comprehensively respond to the cancer problem. This report examines existing public
data and identifies trends that we believe will inform policymakers on how best to reduce the
incidence of cancer and to enhance the quality of life of those suffering from those diseases. Our
goal is to stimulate a comprehensive approach to cancer that reduces its incidence, enhances its
treatment and reduces the pain suffered by cancer patients and their families.

An estimated 107,000 New Yorkers received a cancer diagnosis in 2011 and more than 34,000
died from the disease. A different perspective is that roughly 2,000 New Yorkers are diagnosed
with cancer and 660 individuals die from cancer each week.
3


Four cancer sites represent over half (51.6%) of all new cancer cases and nearly half (45.7%) of
all cancer deaths. They are: cancer of the lung, prostate, breast and colon/rectum.
4


Prostate cancer represents the largest number of cases, while lung cancer (largely the result of
tobacco use) is the biggest killer. Below are the estimated impacts of the 20 most common
cancers in New York State.

THE CANCER BURDEN IN NEW YORK:
REGIONAL COMPARISONS

This report examined publicly-available cancer data from the New York State Department of
Health. State law requires that all cancers other than superficial skin cancer be reported to the
New York State Cancer Registry. Data are presented with the number of cases per 100,000
population, and are adjusted for age (more cancer would be expected in an older population).
Data are averaged over a four year period, 2004 - 2008.
6


Care should be taken to avoid over-interpreting findings that show large disparities in
cancer incidence and mortality. Apparent differences may be only random variations not
correctible by standard statistical techniques. These data are based on residence at time of
diagnosis. Cancer may have a long latency period before reaching a clinically detectable
stage, and between the cancers initiation and its detection the individuals residence,
personal behaviors and occupation may have changed.

The chart below provides cancer incidence and mortality rates for the United States, New York
State as a whole, New York City and the balance of the state outside New York City. While
having a higher cancer incidence rate, New York State has a lower cancer mortality rate than the
nation. That lower mortality rate is largely driven by New York Citys significantly lower lung
cancer incidence and mortality rates. New York Citys stunningly lower lung cancer rate drives
down the overall cancer mortality rate of the state. It is likely that this difference is the result of
New York Citys strong public health and tobacco control programs programs that are a model
for the rest of the state and the nation. Cancer is a more pronounced problem in regions of
the state outside New York City.

THE CANCER BURDEN IN NEW YORK:
REGIONAL COMPARISONS

This report examined publicly-available cancer data from the New York State Department of
Health. State law requires that all cancers other than superficial skin cancer be reported to the
New York State Cancer Registry. Data are presented with the number of cases per 100,000
population, and are adjusted for age (more cancer would be expected in an older population).
Data are averaged over a four year period, 2004 - 2008.
6


Care should be taken to avoid over-interpreting findings that show large disparities in
cancer incidence and mortality. Apparent differences may be only random variations not
correctible by standard statistical techniques. These data are based on residence at time of
diagnosis. Cancer may have a long latency period before reaching a clinically detectable
stage, and between the cancers initiation and its detection the individuals residence,
personal behaviors and occupation may have changed.

THE CANCER BURDEN IN NEW YORK:
COMPARING COUNTIES

Appendix A of this report contains detailed cancer information on each county of New York
State. It is difficult to compare counties given that random variation, due only to chance, in
the number of cancer cases in counties with smaller populations can appear quite large,
especially over a limited time period. Thus, the confidence interval of a cancer rate is higher
in counties with smaller populations than in counties with large ones.

However, the State Health Department has made data public which details county cancer rates
and associated confidence intervals. In order to offer some comparisons among counties, this
section uses the data provided by the State Health Department to report on the counties whose
confidence intervals do not overlap with the state average.

Breast Cancer
According to New York State Health Department data,
9
women living in Putnam County have
breast cancer rates that are higher than the state average. By contrast, women living in the
counties of Bronx, Brooklyn, Chenango, and Queens have rates that are below the state average.

Increasing age is the most important risk factor for breast cancer, although the rates reported by
the Department take into account the age of the countys population. Risk also is increased by a
family history of breast cancer and by inherited genetic mutations occurring in less than one
percent of the general population, though some population groups, such as Ashkenazi Jews, have
an increased prevalence of the mutation. Modifiable risk factors include being overweight or
obese, the use of combined estrogen and progestin hormone therapy and frequent alcohol
consumption.
10


Regional differences in the incidence and mortality rates for breast cancer may be affected most
by variation in access to health care services, in particular mammography.

Colorectal Cancer
A closer look at State Health Department rates for specific cancers comparing men and women
finds differences in the incidence of colorectal cancer among the counties.
11


Men living in the counties of Fulton, Livingston, St. Lawrence, and Wyoming have colorectal
cancer rates higher than the state average. Men living in Manhattan and Queens, on the other
hand, have rates below the state average.

Women residing in Montgomery, Schuyler and Wyoming counties experience the highest rates
of colorectal cancer, while women living in Manhattan, Niagara, Ontario, and Queens have the
lowest.

Modifiable risk factors for colon cancer include obesity, a diet high in red or processed meat and
frequent alcohol consumption. Increased blood levels of vitamin D and consumption of milk and
calcium-rich foods may lower risk.
12


Colorectal cancer is preventable. Screenings can result in the detection and removal of
colorectal polyps before they become cancerous, as well as the detection of cancer at an early,
non-invasive stage. As with breast cancer, access to health care services, including screening
and detection services, can affect survival from colon cancer. Screening can lead to reduced
incidence of colon cancer because of increased discovery and removal of potentially pre-
malignant polyps.

Lung Cancer
Men living in the counties of Cayuga, Chemung, Clinton, Cortland, Franklin, Greene, Jefferson,
Niagara, Oswego, Rensselaer, St. Lawrence, Schuyler, Steuben, and Washington have lung
cancer rates higher than the state average. By contrast, men residing in Bronx, Brooklyn,
Manhattan, Nassau, Queens, Rockland, and Westchester have rates below the state average.
13


Women residing in Chemung, Clinton, Fulton, Greene, Jefferson, Madison, Niagara, Oneida,
Onondaga, Oswego, Putnam, Rensselaer, St. Lawrence, Seneca, Sullivan, Warren, and
Washington experience the highest rates of lung cancer. Women living in Bronx, Brooklyn,
Manhattan, and Queens have the lowest lung cancer rates.

Regional variation is smoking rates, and certain occupational exposures may explain these
differences.

Prostate Cancer
The most prevalent malignancy, prostate cancer, shows the wide variations identified earlier.
Men living in Tompkins County have the highest prostate cancer incidence rate, while men
living the counties of Brooklyn, Delaware, Dutchess, Herkimer, Manhattan, Orleans, Otsego,
Queens, Schenectady, Schoharie, Staten Island, Steuben, and Ulster experience the lowest rates.
14

More than most cancers, variation in prostate cancer incidence rates may be due to differences in
the aggressiveness of detection efforts.

For reasons that are unclear, prostate cancer incidence rates nationally are significantly higher in
Black men than in whites. Incidence rates for prostate cancer increased substantially between
the mid-1980s and mid-1990s, reflecting the wide-spread adoption of screening with the
prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test. Serious questions have been raised whether early
detection of prostate cancer actually leads to increased survival in large populations.

Women residing in Chemung, Clinton, Fulton, Greene, Jefferson, Madison, Niagara, Oneida,
Onondaga, Oswego, Putnam, Rensselaer, St. Lawrence, Seneca, Sullivan, Warren, and
Washington experience the highest rates of lung cancer. Women living in Bronx, Brooklyn,
Manhattan, and Queens have the lowest lung cancer rates.

Regional variation is smoking rates, and certain occupational exposures may explain these
differences.

Prostate Cancer
The most prevalent malignancy, prostate cancer, shows the wide variations identified earlier.
Men living in Tompkins County have the highest prostate cancer incidence rate, while men
living the counties of Brooklyn, Delaware, Dutchess, Herkimer, Manhattan, Orleans, Otsego,
Queens, Schenectady, Schoharie, Staten Island, Steuben, and Ulster experience the lowest rates.
14

More than most cancers, variation in prostate cancer incidence rates may be due to differences in
the aggressiveness of detection efforts.

For reasons that are unclear, prostate cancer incidence rates nationally are significantly higher in
Black men than in whites. Incidence rates for prostate cancer increased substantially between
the mid-1980s and mid-1990s, reflecting the wide-spread adoption of screening with the
prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test. Serious questions have been raised whether early
detection of prostate cancer actually leads to increased survival in large populations.

Modifiable risk factors for colon cancer include obesity, a diet high in red or processed meat and
frequent alcohol consumption. Increased blood levels of vitamin D and consumption of milk and
calcium-rich foods may lower risk.

Colorectal cancer is preventable. Screenings can result in the detection and removal of
colorectal polyps before they become cancerous, as well as the detection of cancer at an early,
non-invasive stage. As with breast cancer, access to health care services, including screening
and detection services, can affect survival from colon cancer. Screening can lead to reduced
incidence of colon cancer because of increased discovery and removal of potentially pre-
malignant polyps.

THE CANCER BURDEN IN NEW YORK:
CANCER RATE DIFFERENCES EXIST WITHIN COUNTIES

The data used in this report did not allow us to do a more detailed examination of cancer rates in
communities within counties, but there is evidence that such differences can exist.

Smoking rates have not declined for the poor and less educated.

New Yorks tobacco control program, combined with policy measures including a high tobacco
excise tax and public smoking restrictions, has led to a decline in the rate of tobacco use among
both children and adults. Between 2000 and 2010, the prevalence of smoking among high
school students fell steadily from 27.1 percent to 12.6 percent, a significantly faster rate than
observed in the rest of the country.

Similarly, the adult smoking rate in New York has fallen faster than the rest of the U.S.,
dropping from 21.6 percent in 2003 to 15.5 percent in 2010. The decline in smoking has

However, a closer look at the data identifies one disturbing trend: The decline in smoking
has not occurred among the poor those least able to afford the cost of cigarettes and the
consequences of addiction.

Smoking among those with less than a high school education was unchanged between 2000 and
2010, a period during which tobacco use significantly declined among all other groups with more
education. Those with less than a high school education now smoke at a rate three times greater
than that of college graduates.

Tobacco use and its consequences disproportionately impact the most vulnerable members of our
society. Poor smokers spend a large share of their household income on tobacco products, with
half the cost of a pack of cigarettes going to state government in the form of excise taxes. Yet
they receive little help from the state when they want to quit smoking.

Also, when examining the race and ethnicity of individuals accessing screening services, national
data show that such rates are not uniformly distributed. As seen below, non-whites are less
likely to access colorectal cancer screenings. The most significant disparity is seen among those
lacking health insurance, a group that historically has included large proportions of racial and
ethnic populations.

state. Studies of stores that sell tobacco have confirmed that tobacco industry marketing
differentially appeals to people with the lowest income and education through point-of-sale
advertising and that there is more in-store tobacco advertising in predominantly racially diverse
and low-income neighborhoods.

New York Citys overall smoking rate is nearly 24 percent lower than upstate regions, (13.2%
vs. 17.2%),
22
yet (as seen below) within New York City, certain areas with high poverty rates,
including South Bronx, Central Harlem, Morningside Heights, Central Brooklyn and Rockaway,
have much higher rates than the rest of the New York City.

Smoking Rates By Within New York City




Tobacco use and its consequences disproportionately impact the most vulnerable members of our
society. Poor smokers spend a large share of their household income on tobacco products, with
half the cost of a pack of cigarettes going to state government in the form of excise taxes. Yet
they receive little help from the state when they want to quit smoking.

Also, when examining the race and ethnicity of individuals accessing screening services, national
data show that such rates are not uniformly distributed. As seen below, non-whites are less
likely to access colorectal cancer screenings. The most significant disparity is seen among those
lacking health insurance, a group that historically has included large proportions of racial and
ethnic populations.

THE CANCER BURDEN IN NEW YORK:
THE COST OF CANCER

The first question of someone diagnosed with cancer is, What are my chances of a recovery?
For many, the cost of treatment also will become a concern, second only to survival. According
to the federal government, cancer is one of the five most costly medical conditions in the United
States, forcing many patients to make decisions about their health based on their personal
finances.
24


While some individuals diagnosed with cancer have meaningful and adequate health insurance to
cover most of the cost of treatment, the uninsured and an increasing number of privately insured
individuals face the prospect of crippling out-of-pocket costs. Financial barriers that delay
treatment for cancer can mean the difference between life and death.

Many cancer patients face high deductibles, copayments, and other cost-sharing requirements,
often compelling them to make difficult decisions in order to make ends meet. One recent
survey found that 25 percent of cancer patients reported using all or most of their savings as a
result of the financial burden of treatment. Even among those with insurance, 22 percent
reported using all or most of their savings. Five percent of insured cancer patients reported
delaying their treatment or deciding not to get care because of cost.
25


Almost a third of cancer patients have out of pocket health care costs totaling 10 percent or more
of their family income and roughly one in nine cancer patients have costs that exceed 20 percent
of family income. As a result of such high costs, 11 percent of individuals with cancer reported
an inability to pay for food/necessities while paying for cancer treatment.
26


Cancer is a physically and emotionally taxing disease for both patients and their families.
Almost 20 percent of families experiencing cancer reported its impact led to someone in the
household to lose a job, change jobs, or work fewer hours.
27
Any of these job changes could
result in the loss of employer-sponsored insurance.

THE CANCER BURDEN IN NEW YORK:
QUALITY OF LIFE

This report raises questions about trends in cancer incidence and mortality that are not easily
answered. What is clear is that many New Yorkers diagnosed with cancer and that part of the
states response should be to do what it can to make the experience more tolerable for patients
and their families.

Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses. This type of care is
focused on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness.
The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family.

Palliative care is provided by a team of doctors, nurses, and other specialists who work with the
patients other medical providers to provide an extra layer of support. Palliative care is
appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness, and can be provided together with
curative treatment.

Todays health system often falls short in addressing pain, physical symptoms, emotional
concerns, and other chronic care needs. These needs are increasingly the norm for cancer patients
and their caregivers. Quality of life care needs can now span over many years or even decades.

Although the reasons for inadequate quality of life care of the seriously ill are many, most stem
from a medical culture that is focused on curing individual diseases and a health system that is
designed to reimburse disease-specific care.

To help address these shortcomings, hospitals have begun to establish palliative care teams to
improve the quality of health care for our most seriously ill and vulnerable patients.
28


Evidence accumulating over the past decade has consistently demonstrated the benefits of
palliative care in improving quality of life and addressing the harmful effects of pain, symptoms
and emotional distress as well as family caregiver burden, making a clear case for the importance
and value of providing palliative care at the same time patients are provided disease-focused
treatments.

Not only would more extensive use of palliative care help patients, but it would reduce costs.

lung cancer patients. The study showed that early palliative care provided alongside

THE CANCER BURDEN IN NEW YORK:
POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS

New York policymakers must take the first steps to help prevent cancer, to help identify it earlier
and to offer real help to those struggling with cancer. Policymaking should be informed by our
scientific understanding of the disease. While for some types of cancer we have enough
knowledge to prescribe at least a partial menu of measures that will help address the disease, for
others it may not be clear what should be done beyond the important steps of ensuring that
everyone has access to affordable quality health care and that the physical and emotional
difficulties that cancer patients experience during treatment are alleviated. Below are key
initiatives that can be taken by the state this year:

Reverse the decline in funding and prevent lung and other smoking-related cancers
by adequately supporting the New York State Tobacco Control Program. Lung
cancer is the number one cancer killer. And the vast majority of cases are caused by
smoking. Yet New York has slashed its tobacco control budget. Since 2007, state
funding has been cut in half. During that time, New York has dropped from 5
th
to 20
th

among states per capita spending on tobacco control.
31
The Center for Disease Control
and Prevention recommends that New York spend $254 million annually.
32
And the
money is there. The state collects over $2 billion in tobacco revenues.
33
The state must
reverse this decline.
Increase tobacco control funding beyond the current $41 Million.

Enact legislation (A.288a/S.5008) restricting the sale of flavored tobacco products to
stores not accessible by minors. Federal law prohibits the use of flavors other than
menthol in cigarettes, but other tobacco products, including snuff and cigars are
exempted. Manufacturers of snuff and cigars have long regarded flavored merchandise
as starter products from which teenage experimenters will graduate to adult brands.
An important function of flavorings is to mask from young users the harsh, toxic
properties of tobacco smoke and spit tobacco.
Reduce childrens access to attractive flavored tobacco products, without denying them
to adults, by restricting their sale to adult-only tobacco shops.

Continue to provide adequate funding for the New York State Cancer Services
Program. Uninsured New Yorkers have nowhere to turn to get potentially life-saving
cancer screenings other than this important program.

And the
money is there. The state collects over $2 billion in tobacco revenues.
33
The state must
reverse this decline.
Increase tobacco control funding beyond the current $41 Million.

Enact legislation (A.288a/S.5008) restricting the sale of flavored tobacco products to
stores not accessible by minors. Federal law prohibits the use of flavors other than
menthol in cigarettes, but other tobacco products, including snuff and cigars are
exempted. Manufacturers of snuff and cigars have long regarded flavored merchandise
as starter products from which teenage experimenters will graduate to adult brands.
An important function of flavorings is to mask from young users the harsh, toxic
properties of tobacco smoke and spit tobacco.
Reduce childrens access to attractive flavored tobacco products, without denying them
to adults, by restricting their sale to adult-only tobacco shops.

Continue to provide adequate funding for the New York State Cancer Services
Program. Uninsured New Yorkers have nowhere to turn to get potentially life-saving
cancer screenings other than this important program.

THE CANCER BURDEN IN NEW YORK:
POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS

New York policymakers must take the first steps to help prevent cancer, to help identify it earlier
and to offer real help to those struggling with cancer. Policymaking should be informed by our
scientific understanding of the disease. While for some types of cancer we have enough
knowledge to prescribe at least a partial menu of measures that will help address the disease, for
others it may not be clear what should be done beyond the important steps of ensuring that
everyone has access to affordable quality health care and that the physical and emotional
difficulties that cancer patients experience during treatment are alleviated. Below are key
initiatives that can be taken by the state this year:

Reverse the decline in funding and prevent lung and other smoking-related cancers
by adequately supporting the New York State Tobacco Control Program. Lung
cancer is the number one cancer killer. And the vast majority of cases are caused by
smoking. Yet New York has slashed its tobacco control budget. Since 2007, state
funding has been cut in half. During that time, New York has dropped from 5
th
to 20
th

among states per capita spending on tobacco control.
31
The Center for Disease Control
and Prevention recommends that New York spend $254 million annually.

money is there. The state collects over $2 billion in tobacco revenues.

Help ensure that cancer patients and other New Yorkers have access to adequate
health insurance coverage. Nearly three million New Yorkers lack health insurance.
34

For those with life-threatening illnesses, that lack of coverage can be deadly. As
mandated by the Affordable Care Act, states have begun to create Health Insurance
Exchanges that would pool the risk of the uninsured and small businesses and negotiate
with insurers to offer affordable, high quality coverage. These states are modeling their
programs on the one pioneered by Massachusetts. The federal government will pick up
the states costs of creating these exchanges. Governor Cuomo has taken the first step
toward covering the uninsured with the Executive Order creating New Yorks health
exchange. However, in order to ensure its long-term stability, policymakers should
codify the creation of the health insurance exchange.

Medicaid provides important health care services to more than 93,000 New Yorkers with
cancer, more than half of them below 65. Reducing benefits and increasing out-of-pocket
costs can affect patients ability to get necessary care.
Ensure that cancer patients covered by Medicaid are adequately covered.
Reverse the obesity epidemic: There is a growing body of scientific evidence linking
poor nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle with increased cancer risks. Indeed, research
suggests that outside of tobacco use such behaviors are a leading cause of cancer
incidence.
Support legislation that promotes healthier diets and encourages a more active lifestyle.

Pain Management and Palliative care: Promoting quality of life and preventing
suffering for every patient, in every care setting, and for every type of illness, are
essential aspects of delivering high quality and patient-centered care. But todays health
system often falls short in addressing pain, physical symptoms, emotional concerns, and
other chronic care needs. These concerns are increasingly becoming the norm for more
patients, survivors and their family caregivers facing serious illness like cancer quality
of life care needs that can now span over many years or even decades.

Although the reasons for inadequate quality of life care of the seriously ill are many, most
stem from a medical culture that is focused on curing individual diseases and a health
system that is designed to reimburse disease-specific care.
Take action to integrate palliative care earlier in the course of illness as an essential
element of providing quality patient-centered care, including, managing physical and
psychosocial symptoms; and ensuring adequate pain treatment knowledge and capacity.

Support enhanced education of health care providers about the benefits, dangers
and proper use of pain medication. State policymakers and professional societies
should adopt and disseminate guidelines encouraging proper pain management. Proper

THE CANCER BURDEN IN NEW YORK:
METHODOLOGY

DATA SOURCE
The data used in the Cancer Burden Profiles are publicly available through the New York State
Cancer Registry (NYSCR). The NYSCR collects data on the anatomic site of tumors, the stage
at diagnosis, the cell type of the cancers and, more recently, some treatment information.
Information from the NYSCR is included below.

WHAT IS THE CANCER REGISTRY USED FOR?
Cancer Registry data are routinely used by programs within the New York State Department of
Health, county and local health departments, patient advocacy groups, public interest groups,
researchers and the public. The data are used for public health planning and evaluation as well
as for research. Because the registry has collected statewide data since 1976, it can be used to
monitor cancer incidence patterns and trends for all areas of New York State.

The cancer registry plays an important role in research to identify the causes of cancer.
Researchers often use the data collected by the cancer registry to identify cancer patients who
could be interviewed about possible exposures they had before they were diagnosed with cancer.
These can be compared to interviews among people without cancer to determine if cancer
patients had different exposures. Researchers can also use registry data to determine whether
groups of people with specific exposures, such as those who work in a particular occupation or
with a particular substance, are more likely to develop cancer than people who do not have these
exposures. Registry data also are linked to other data sources such as hospital discharge files to
evaluate health services.

WHAT DOES THE CANCER REGISTRY DO TO PROTECT PRIVACY?
All information reported to the New York State Cancer Registry is confidential, and strict
procedures are in place to protect patients' privacy. For example, access to registry offices is
restricted. All employees are trained in handling confidential information. State law limits use of
confidential cancer data to research. All research studies involving data with patient identifiers
must be reviewed by the Health Department's Institutional Review Board, which protects rights
of privacy and informed consent. Statistics for areas smaller than the county level are only
released when there are enough cases in the area to guard against revealing confidential
information about individuals.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PROCESS THE CANCER DATA?
The cancer registry receives almost 200,000 reports of invasive cancers per year, representing
over 100,000 new tumors. It currently takes about two years beyond the end of each year for
cancer registry data to be available. This time frame is in line with national standards and
consistent with the availability of cancer data from other state registries.

WHAT KINDS OF DATA DOES THE CANCER REGISTRY RELEASE?
The NYSCR web site is the primary source for cancer incidence and mortality in New York
State. It provides the number of cancer cases or deaths and the age-adjusted rates by county, site
of cancer and gender for the most recent five-year period. Five years of data are combined
because the number of cases and rates for single years can vary considerably, particularly for
most of the counties outside metropolitan areas and cities. Additional data are also provided on
the New York State Department of Health Internet site (www.health.ny.gov) and in printed
format upon request. This includes detailed data on the number of cancer cases or deaths and
rates by age, race and year of diagnosis, as well as the proportion of cases diagnosed at early
stages. These data are made available for New York State, New York City, New York State
exclusive of New York City, and the New York City Counties. Additional statistics available on
the Health Department Internet site include incidence data for selected New York cities, New
York City Neighborhoods and selected areas of Nassau, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester
counties, incidence and mortality for childhood cancers, and estimated prevalence for selected
regions and counties. Users are referred to the SEER program Web site for classification rules
for incidence (ICD-O-3), mortality (ICD-9 and ICD-10) and International Classification of
Childhood Cancers.

As part of the New York State Department of Health's Cancer Surveillance Improvement
Initiative, the New York State Cancer Registry has released data for breast, lung and bronchus,
colorectal and prostate cancers by ZIP Code. These data and more information about this
initiative can be found on the Health Department's Internet site.

The New York State Cancer Registry also releases a public use file for use with the National
Cancer Institute's SEER*Stat program. This file can be found on the Registry's web page
(http://www.health.ny.gov/statistics/cancer/registry/).

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF DATA?
Incidence: Incidence data normally tell you how many people are newly diagnosed with cancer
within a given timeframe. These figures are often averaged over a 5-year period to avoid
misinterpreting a one year random fluctuation in the number of new cases as evidence of some
important new trend. By averaging over 5 years, we can be reasonably confident that any changes
that occur over time represent real trends.

Mortality: Mortality data tell us how many people died from cancer within a given timeframe.
These figures also are averaged over five years to ensure statistically relevant findings and
interpretation.

Staging: Since cancers detected at an early stage in development are more treatable than those
diagnosed at a later stage, knowing what proportion of cancers are caught early is very useful.
Along with incidence and mortality data, the state cancer registries track the percentage of all
cases which are diagnosed at an early stage. For example, the New York State Cancer Registry
reported that for the 2004-2008 period, 44% of all cases of colorectal cancer were diagnosed at
an early stage. Since we know that this cancer is highly detectable if people are screened
according to American Cancer Society guidelines, this low early stage detection percentage tells
us that there is great potential for saving lives by catching colorectal cancer earlier.

Staging: Since cancers detected at an early stage in development are more treatable than those
diagnosed at a later stage, knowing what proportion of cancers are caught early is very useful.
Along with incidence and mortality data, the state cancer registries track the percentage of all
cases which are diagnosed at an early stage. For example, the New York State Cancer Registry
reported that for the 2004-2008 period, 44% of all cases of colorectal cancer were diagnosed at
an early stage. Since we know that this cancer is highly detectable if people are screened
according to American Cancer Society guidelines, this low early stage detection percentage tells
us that there is great potential for saving lives by catching colorectal cancer earlier.

WHAT KINDS OF DATA DOES THE CANCER REGISTRY RELEASE?
The NYSCR web site is the primary source for cancer incidence and mortality in New York
State. It provides the number of cancer cases or deaths and the age-adjusted rates by county, site
of cancer and gender for the most recent five-year period. Five years of data are combined
because the number of cases and rates for single years can vary considerably, particularly for
most of the counties outside metropolitan areas and cities. Additional data are also provided on
the New York State Department of Health Internet site (www.health.ny.gov) and in printed
format upon request. This includes detailed data on the number of cancer cases or deaths and
rates by age, race and year of diagnosis, as well as the proportion of cases diagnosed at early
stages. These data are made available for New York State, New York City, New York State
exclusive of New York City, and the New York City Counties. Additional statistics available on
the Health Department Internet site include incidence data for selected New York cities, New
York City Neighborhoods and selected areas of Nassau, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester
counties, incidence and mortality for childhood cancers, and estimated prevalence for selected
regions and counties. Users are referred to the SEER program Web site for classification rules
for incidence (ICD-O-3), mortality (ICD-9 and ICD-10) and International Classification of
Childhood Cancers.

As part of the New York State Department of Health's Cancer Surveillance Improvement
Initiative, the New York State Cancer Registry has released data for breast, lung and bronchus,
colorectal and prostate cancers by ZIP Code. These data and more information about this
initiative can be found on the Health Department's Internet site.

The New York State Cancer Registry also releases a public use file for use with the National
Cancer Institute's SEER*Stat program. This file can be found on the Registry's web page
(http://www.health.ny.gov/statistics/cancer/registry/).

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF DATA?
Incidence: Incidence data normally tell you how many people are newly diagnosed with cancer
within a given timeframe. These figures are often averaged over a 5-year period to avoid
misinterpreting a one year random fluctuation in the number of new cases as evidence of some
important new trend. By averaging over 5 years, we can be reasonably confident that any changes
that occur over time represent real trends.

Mortality: Mortality data tell us how many people died from cancer within a given timeframe.
These figures also are averaged over five years to ensure statistically relevant findings and
interpretation.

Staging: Since cancers detected at an early stage in development are more treatable than those
diagnosed at a later stage, knowing what proportion of cancers are caught early is very useful.
Along with incidence and mortality data, the state cancer registries track the percentage of all
cases which are diagnosed at an early stage. For example, the New York State Cancer Registry

RATES VS. COUNTS
Incidence and mortality data are presented as either counts or rates. Counts are the actual
number of new diagnoses of cancer, or deaths within a given year. Rates are usually presented
as the number of cases or deaths per 100,000 people in the county, state or nation. Rates
therefore are useful in making comparisons across geographic regions or among racial or ethnic
groups of different sizes. As an example, say fictional Jackson County has 400 cases of cancer
diagnosed in a given year and the county population is 200,000. In this case, the incidence count
would be 400, but the incidence rate would be 200 per 100,000 persons. (400 cases divided by
200,000/100,000).

ABOUT AGE ADJUSTED RATES, 95% CONFIDENCE INTERVALS AND UNSTABLE
RATES
What is age adjustment?
Age adjustment is a statistical process applied to rates of disease, death, injuries or other health
outcomes that allows communities with different age structures to be compared.

Why do we do age adjustment?
Cancer is an age-related disease, and typically, the incidence rate of different types of cancer
increases with age. A non-age-adjusted or crude rate does not take account of the age
distribution and cannot be used to compare rates among populations with different age
distributions. Comparisons only can be made after taking into account the different proportions
of the population in each age group. Therefore, only rates adjusted to the same standard
population can be compared to one another.

How is age adjustment done?
Age confounding occurs when the two populations being compared have different age
distributions and the risk of the disease or outcome varies across the age groups. The process of
age adjustment by the direct method changes the amount that each age group contributes to the
overall rate in each community, so that the overall rates are based on the same age structure.
Rates that are based on the same age distribution can be compared to each other without the
presence of confounding by age. Adjustment is accomplished by first multiplying the age-
specific rates of disease by age-specific weights. The weights used in the age adjustment of
cancer data are the proportion of the standard US population within each age group. The
weighted rates are then summed across the age groups to give the age-adjusted rate.

WHY ARE RATES BASED ON FEWER THAN 20 CASES CONSIDERED UNSTABLE?
Annual rates based on fewer than 20 cases or five-year average rates based on fewer than 4 cases
per year are considered unstable because they have a large relative standard error (RSE). The
RSE is the standard error as a percent of the measure itself. For age-adjusted incidence and
mortality rates, the RSE is equal to 1 cases. A RSE of 50 percent indicates that the standard
error is half the size of the rate.

The RSE of an incidence or mortality rate is based on the number of cases or deaths, unlike the
standard error and confidence intervals, which are based on both the number of cases and the
size of the population.

Examples:
Suppose there are 20 testicular cancer deaths among males in New York State excluding New
York City every year. The rate of testicular cancer deaths is 0.4 per 100,000 males, and the
standard error is 0.09. The relative standard error is 22 percent.

If there are about 20 prostate cancer deaths among males in Orange County every year, the rate is
21.9 deaths per 100,000 males; the standard error is 4.8. Again, the relative standard error is 22
percent.

So, even though the standard error for the testicular cancer rate is much smaller than the standard
error for the prostate cancer rate, both have the same magnitude relative to the rate itself. This
means that when there are only a few cases or deaths, small changes in the number of cases or
deaths have a much bigger effect than small changes in a large number of cases or deaths. In
other words, going from 10 deaths to 20 deaths reduces the RSE from 32 percent to 22 percent,
while going from 60 deaths to 70 deaths reduces the RSE from 13 percent to 12 percent. Hence,
rates based on fewer than 20 deaths, are highly variable and, for that reason, are unreliable.

CONSIDERATIONS WHEN COMPARING CANCER STATISTICS OVER TIME
While the cancer registry collects data on in situ and invasive malignant cancers, the incidence
tables describe invasive malignant cancers only (with the exception of in situ cancer of the
bladder). Important to note are changes made to the behavior classification of some neoplasia
effective in 2001, with the introduction of the 3rd Edition of the International Classification of
Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O-3). Some cancers diagnosed and considered malignant prior to
2001 (based on ICD-O-2) are coded with borderline malignancy in ICD-O-3; neoplasia with
borderline potential for malignancy based on ICD-O-3 are not included in these statistics.
Conversely, some conditions with borderline malignant behavior based on ICD-O-2 are
classified as malignant in ICD-O-3 and are, consequently, reportable.

Comparisons of incidence statistics for total cancers or categories that include tumors with
revised behavior must be made with caution, especially when looking at statistics over time.
Categories presented for the most recent five years, 2004-2008, include cancers classified as
malignant based on ICD-O-3, which is the current standard. However, for any time trends where
incidence rates are displayed by year from 1976 to 2008, the practice followed by the National
Cancer Institute is used, omitting most newly-reportable cancers as well as the tumors that are no
longer classified as malignant, for consistency purposes.

THE CANCER BURDEN IN NEW YORK
A Brief Overview of the Cancers Featured in this Report

Prostate cancer is a cancer that forms in tissues of the prostate (a gland in the male reproductive
system found below the bladder and in front of the rectum). Prostate cancer usually occurs in
older men.
35
For reasons that are unclear, incidence rates are significantly higher in Black men
than in whites. Incidence rates for prostate cancer increased substantially between the mid-1980s
and mid-1990s, reflecting the wide-spread adoption of screening with the prostate-specific
antigen (PSA) blood test.
36


Breast cancer is a cancer that starts in the tissues of the breast. There are two main types of
breast cancer:

Ductal carcinoma starts in the tubes (ducts) that move milk from the breast to the nipple.
Most breast cancers are of this type.
Lobular carcinoma starts in the parts of the breast, called lobules, which produce milk.

A dramatic decline in the incidence of breast cancer after 2002 followed reductions in the use of
hormone replacement therapy after publication of findings associating the treatment with
increased risk of breast cancer and coronary heart disease. Mammography often can detect
breast cancer at an early stage when treatment is more effective and cure more likely. Concerted
efforts should be made to improve access to health care and to encourage women over age 40 to

Lung & bronchus cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. It is the leading
cause of cancer death in men and women in the United States and in New York State. Cigarette
smoking causes most lung cancers. The incidence rate of lung cancer in men has fallen more
than 30 percent from a high point in 1984, mirroring a decline in smoking by men that began in
the 1960s. Female lung cancer rates began decreasing in 2003 after continuously increasing for
70 years. Gender differences in lung cancer incidence reflect historical differences in population
uptake and then reduction of cigarette smoking between men and women over the past 50
years.

THE CANCER BURDEN IN NEW YORK
A Brief Overview of the Cancers Featured in this Report

Prostate cancer is a cancer that forms in tissues of the prostate (a gland in the male reproductive
system found below the bladder and in front of the rectum). Prostate cancer usually occurs in
older men.
35
For reasons that are unclear, incidence rates are significantly higher in Black men
than in whites. Incidence rates for prostate cancer increased substantially between the mid-1980s
and mid-1990s, reflecting the wide-spread adoption of screening with the prostate-specific
antigen (PSA) blood test.
36


Breast cancer is a cancer that starts in the tissues of the breast. There are two main types of
breast cancer:

Ductal carcinoma starts in the tubes (ducts) that move milk from the breast to the nipple.
Most breast cancers are of this type.
Lobular carcinoma starts in the parts of the breast, called lobules, which produce milk.

A dramatic decline in the incidence of breast cancer after 2002 followed reductions in the use of
hormone replacement therapy after publication of findings associating the treatment with
increased risk of breast cancer and coronary heart disease. Mammography often can detect
breast cancer at an early stage when treatment is more effective and cure more likely. Concerted
efforts should be made to improve access to health care and to encourage women over age 40 to
receive regular mammograms.

Lung & bronchus cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. It is the leading
cause of cancer death in men and women in the United States and in New York State. Cigarette

Four cancer sites represent 52.5 of all new cancer cases and 50.6 of all new cancer deaths
in Delaware County``:
Lung & bronchus cancers account Ior 16.6
oI all cancer cases and 28.5 oI all cancer
deaths. This disproportionate mortality

Cancer Burden ProIile, 2011
For Dutchess County residents:
~ 29 individuals are diagnosed with cancer each week
~ 10 individuals die Irom cancer each week
The Burden in Dutchess County:
Annual incidence rates have decreased:
~There were an average oI 495.8 cases per
100,000 people per year in 1994-1998. This rate
was 484.1 Ior 2004-2008.
~ The annual incidence rate has decreased 2.4
since 1994-1998.
~There were an average oI 218.6 deaths per
100,000 people per year in 1994-1998. This rate
was 174.7 Ior 2004-2008.
~ The annual mortality rate has decreased 20.1
since 1994-1998.
Annual mortality rates have decreased:
Four cancer sites represent 52.1 of all new cancer cases and 50.2 of all new cancer deaths
in Dutchess County``:
Lung & bronchus cancers account Ior 14.3
oI all cancer cases and 28.0 oI all cancer
deaths. This disproportionate mortality
highlights the crucial need Ior prevention &
cessation oI tobacco use.
Prostate cancer accounts Ior 12.6 oI all
cancer cases and 5.0 oI all cancer deaths.
Female breast cancer accounts Ior 15.1 oI
all cancer cases and 7.5 oI all cancer
deaths.
Colorectal cancer accounts Ior 10.1 oI all
cancer cases and 9.7 oI all cancer deaths.
This reIlects the lower screening & early
detection rates Ior this cancer.

Cancer Burden ProIile, 2011
For Putnam County residents:
~ 10 individuals are diagnosed with cancer each week
~ 3 individuals die Irom cancer each week
The Burden in Putnam County:
Annual incidence rates have increased:
~There were an average oI 492.3 cases per
100,000 people per year in 1994-1998. This rate
was 533.5 Ior 2004-2008.
~ The annual incidence rate has increased 8.4
since 1994-1998.
~There were an average oI 223.1 deaths per
100,000 people per year in 1994-1998. This rate
was 163.8 Ior 2004-2008.
~ The annual mortality rate has decreased 26.6
since 1994-1998.
Annual mortality rates have decreased:
Four cancer sites represent 51.0 of all new cancer cases and 50.4 of all new cancer deaths
in Putnam County``:
Lung & bronchus cancers account Ior 12.9
oI all cancer cases and 30.4 oI all cancer
deaths. This disproportionate mortality
highlights the crucial need Ior prevention &
cessation oI tobacco use.
Prostate cancer accounts Ior 13.9 oI all
cancer cases and 3.7 oI all cancer deaths.
Female breast cancer accounts Ior 16.0 oI
all cancer cases and 7.4 oI all cancer
deaths.
Colorectal cancer accounts Ior 8.2 oI all
cancer cases and 8.9 oI all cancer deaths.
This reIlects the lower screening & early
detection rates Ior this cancer.

Four cancer sites represent 51.0 of all new cancer cases and 50.4 of all new cancer deaths
in Putnam County``:
Lung & bronchus cancers account Ior 12.9
oI all cancer cases and 30.4 oI all cancer
deaths. This disproportionate mortality

Queens County, New York
Cancer Burden ProIile, 2011
For Queens County residents:
~ 192 individuals are diagnosed with cancer each week
~ 64 individuals die Irom cancer each week
The Burden in Queens County:
Annual incidence rates have decreased:
~There were an average oI 455.6 cases per
100,000 people per year in 1994-1998. This rate
was 412.5 Ior 2004-2008.
~ The annual incidence rate has decreased 9.5
since 1994-1998.
~There were an average oI 178.0 deaths per
100,000 people per year in 1994-1998. This rate
was 137.4 Ior 2004-2008.
~ The annual mortality rate has decreased 22.8
since 1994-1998.
Annual mortality rates have decreased:
Four cancer sites represent 52.1 of all new cancer cases and 47.7 of all new cancer deaths
in Queens County``:
Lung & bronchus cancers account Ior 11.5
oI all cancer cases and 22.7 oI all cancer
deaths. This disproportionate mortality
highlights the crucial need Ior prevention &
cessation oI tobacco use.
Prostate cancer accounts Ior 15.1 oI all
cancer cases and 5.1 oI all cancer deaths.
Female breast cancer accounts Ior 14.2 oI
all cancer cases and 9.0 oI all cancer
deaths.
Colorectal cancer accounts Ior 11.3 oI all
cancer cases and 10.9 oI all cancer deaths.
This reIlects the lower screening & early

The Burden in Rockland County:
Annual incidence rates have decreased:
~There were an average oI 521.1 cases per
100,000 people per year in 1994-1998. This rate
was 502.1 Ior 2004-2008.
~ The annual incidence rate has decreased 3.6
since 1994-1998.
~There were an average oI 201.6 deaths per

was 147.1 Ior 2004-2008.
~ The annual mortality rate has decreased 27.0
since 1994-1998.
Annual mortality rates have decreased:
Four cancer sites represent 52.4 of all new cancer cases and 46.3 of all new cancer deaths
in Rockland County``:
Lung & bronchus cancers account Ior 11.6
oI all cancer cases and 25.2 oI all cancer
deaths. This disproportionate mortality
highlights the crucial need Ior prevention &
cessation oI tobacco use.
Prostate cancer accounts Ior 17.2 oI all

Female breast cancer accounts Ior 14.6 oI
all cancer cases and 7.9 oI all cancer
deaths.
Colorectal cancer accounts Ior 9.1 oI all
cancer cases and 8.9 oI all cancer deaths.
This reIlects the lower screening & early

For St. Lawrence County residents:
~ 12 individuals are diagnosed with cancer each week
~ 5 individuals die Irom cancer each week
The Burden in St. Lawrence County:
Annual incidence rates have increased:
~There were an average oI 492.8 cases per
100,000 people per year in 1994-1998. This rate
was 534.5 Ior 2004-2008.

was 216.3 Ior 2004-2008.
~ The annual mortality rate has decreased 3.4
since 1994-1998.
Annual mortality rates have decreased:
Four cancer sites represent 54.8 of all new cancer cases and 52.7 of all new cancer deaths
in St. Lawrence County``:
Lung & bronchus cancers account Ior 17.1
oI all cancer cases and 31.6 oI all cancer
deaths. This disproportionate mortality
highlights the crucial need Ior prevention &
