This map shows the rate of new cancer cases by state per 100,000 people. This is specifically for 2013, which is the most recent year available. The darker the color, the higher the rate.

The page also provided breakdowns of the leading new cancer cases alongside the 10 types of cancer that caused the highest rate of cancer deaths in 2013. Lung and bronchial cancers were the leading causes of cancer deaths for both men and women, while the highest rates of new cancer were breast for women and prostate for men.
