Households that Received Cancer Medical Services

County: Franklin
Measurement Period: 2023
This indicator shows the percentage of households with at least one person who received cancer (oncology) medical services in the past 3 years.

Why is this important?

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) defines cancer as a term used to describe diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues. According to the NCI there are over 100 different types of cancer, but breast, colon, lung, pancreatic, prostate, and rectal cancer lead to the greatest number of annual deaths. Risk factors of cancer include but are not limited to: age, alcohol use, tobacco use, a poor diet, certain hormones, and sun exposure. Although some of these risk factors cannot be avoided--such as age--limiting exposure to avoidable risk factors may lower risk of developing certain cancers.
