В каких штатах Америки самый высокий и самый низкий уровень заболевания раком?

---

Самый высокий уровень – в Кентукки.

По прогнозам ученых, около 38 процентов людей имеют шансы заболеть раком. Национальный институт здоровья (National Institutes of Health) сообщает, что ежегодно около 6 миллионов человек  в Америке получают диагноз рак. Хотя сегодня в распоряжении медицины есть лекарства, которые позволяют людям бороться с этой болезнью, статистика фиксирует, что треть больных раком умирает в течение первых пяти лет после постановки диагноза.

Журналисты издания Stacker на основании данных организации Centers for Disease Control and Prevention определили, в каких регионах США самый высокий и самый низкий уровень рака и смертности от рака.
