Counties with the highest pancreas cancer death rates in Georgia
Among 98 Georgia counties with published values, the counties with the highest pancreas cancer death rates are Bacon County, GA (23.7, 2.1 times the U.S. rate of 11.3), Toombs County, GA (18.8, 1.66 times the U.S. rate of 11.3) and Wayne County, GA (17.6, 1.56 times the U.S. rate of 11.3). Values are per 100,000, age-adjusted. 5 of the 98 are significantly above the U.S. rate.
Source: NCI and CDC State Cancer Profiles, both sexes, all ages. These are county-level figures, age-adjusted as published by the source, compared with the U.S. rate. A high rate does not prove an environmental cause: age, smoking, income, access to care, screening and chance all move county rates, and small counties swing widely. Significant means the lower bound of the county’s 95 percent confidence interval is above the U.S. rate.
