CDC's Interactive Cancer Atlas (InCA) uses data from United States Cancer Statistics (USCS) to create United States maps that allow you to make quick comparisons. For example, you can use InCA to compare—

• How many people were diagnosed with one of 26 types of cancer during different years.
• The incidence or death rate for a certain type of cancer among states during one year, and how the states' rates compare to the national rates.
• How many people died from one type of cancer vs. another type of cancer.
• The rate of diagnosis (incidence rate) with a certain type of cancer among white, black, and Hispanic people.

The trend data player puts the data in motion. It shows how the data changed over the years from 1999 to 2006 (the latest year for which statistics are available).
