Environmental Public Health Tracking: Cancer Data

Cancer is a term used for diseases where abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues. Cancer is not just one disease, but many diseases; there are more than 100 different types of cancer. We track cancer because it could help us understand the links between cancer and the environment. Cancer is a major public health concern for every community in Wisconsin.
