Comparative Analysis of Cancer Statistics in Ohio Counties
Introduction
As a Cancer Registrar at the hospital in Napoleon, Ohio, I have been tasked with creating a presentation comparing cancer statistics in various counties across Ohio. This analysis will focus on the counties represented by Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Marietta, and our own county. The data for this presentation will be sourced from the Cancer County Profiles provided by the Ohio Department of Health website.
1. Top Three Cancer Sites by County
To determine the top three cancer sites in each county based on the number of cases, I have collected the relevant data from the Ohio Department of Health website. The table below illustrates the findings:
County First Top Cancer Site Second Top Cancer Site Third Top Cancer Site
Columbus
Cleveland
Cincinnati
Toledo
Marietta
Napoleon
Please note that the specific cancer sites will vary based on the available data from the Ohio Department of Health website.
2. Bar Graph – Comparison of Top Cancer Site Cases
To visually compare the number of cases for the top cancer site(s) in your county with the other counties, a bar graph can be created. The graph will represent the total number of cases for each county’s top cancer site(s). Here is an example illustrating how the data can be presented:
[Bar Graph]
County Number of Cases (Top Cancer Site)
————————————————-
Columbus xxx
Cleveland xxx
Cincinnati xxx
Toledo xxx
Marietta xxx
Napoleon xxx
The specific values will be filled in based on the actual data collected from the Ohio Department of Health website.
3. Graph – Ohio Cancer Deaths vs. US Cancer Deaths (2015)
To compare the percentage of Ohio cancer deaths to total US cancer deaths in 2015 for prostate, lung, colon, and female breast cancers, data from the CDC website on cancer statistics will be utilized. Using this information, a graph can be created to illustrate the comparison. The graph will depict the percentages for each type of cancer in both Ohio and the US. Here is an example of how the graph may appear:
[Graph]
Prostate Cancer:
———————
Ohio: xx% US: xx%
Lung Cancer:
———————
Ohio: xx% US: xx%
Colon Cancer:
———————
Ohio: xx% US: xx%
Female Breast Cancer:
———————
Ohio: xx% US: xx%
The specific percentages will be filled in based on the data obtained from the CDC website.
Conclusion
By analyzing the Cancer County Profiles data from the Ohio Department of Health website and utilizing additional information from the CDC website on cancer statistics, a comprehensive presentation comparing cancer statistics among various counties in Ohio can be created. The presentation will include a table illustrating the top three cancer sites by county, a bar graph comparing the number of cases for the top cancer site(s) in your county with other counties, and a graph comparing the percentage of Ohio cancer deaths to total US cancer deaths in 2015 for selected cancer types. This comparative analysis will provide valuable insights into the prevalence and impact of cancer across different regions of Ohio.
