Cancer Statistics

Cancer Statistics KIC allows you to create statistics on Kansas resident cancer cases (see residency definition) by cancer type, year of diagnosis, age-group, sex, race, and county of residence. Select row and column variables to define the table of results. Use filters in optional step 2 to limit results. The most current year for Cancer Statistics KIC is 2013. See the Cancer Statistics Notes and Limitations for more information on this dataset and how it was prepared.

On April 1, 2016, population estimates were updated with the newly released 2000-2009 intercensal population estimates, produced by the U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates program. Introduction of the intercensal estimates could alter any results (rates / percentages) captured prior to April 1, 2016. For more detail, regarding population estimates, see KIC’s Notes & Limitations, section “Population Estimates”.

Help & Notes Step 1. If you want see your results by a geographic area, you must select county as a row or column variable. If you want to see statistics broken out by year or other variable, you will need to make that variable a row or column variable. You cannot make a variable both a row or column variable. If you select age-group, there are breakouts possible within some age-groups by clicking on the age-group. Help & Notes Step 2. These selections allow you to filter the resulting table to a specific subcategory. If one of Step 2 variables is also a row or column variable, then applying the filter will have no affect on the output table.
