| Question/Topic: |
I am trying to find statistics on prostate cancer morbidity
and mortality rates by age, race in florida.
|
| Answer/Pointer: |
This site - National Cancer Institute-Surveillance,
Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)- collects data and
publishes cancer incidence and survival data. The
Publications page includes Prostate Cancer Trends,
1973-1995, Cancer Statistics Review, 1973-1995,
Racial/Ethnic Patterns of Cancer in the United States, and
Cancer Rates and Risks (4th Edition).
From the National Cancer Institute's site, search the
CancerLit database.
http://www-seer.ims.nci.nih.gov/
The Centers for Disease Control online mortality and
morbidity weekly report is at http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr//
There is also a morbidity and mortality weekly report on
CD-ROM. A library near you may own it.
