Bronx Community Health Dashboard: Other Cancers Last Updated: 01/09/2018 See last slide for more information about this project.

About this dashboard Lung, colorectal, prostate, breast and gynecologic cancers (i.e., uterine, cervical and ovarian) are presented in individual dashboards available at: Data on other cancers is presented here

Death and disability from other cancers Detailed data are provided for these cancers due to increasing trends or a higher burden in the Bronx Incidence and mortality rates by borough are shown for the remaining cancers Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) are calculated by adding the Years of Life Lost due to premature mortality in the population and the Years Lost due to Disability for people living with the health condition or its consequences.

About the Community Health Dashboard Project The goal of the project is to provide Bronx-specific data on risk factors and health outcomes with an emphasis on presenting data on trends, socio-demographic differences (e.g., by age, sex, race/ethnicity, etc.) and sub-county/neighborhood level data Data will be periodically updated as new data becomes available. Produced by Montefiore’s Office of Community & Population Health using publicly-available data sources For more information please contact Colin Rehm, PhD, Manager of Research & Evaluation (crehm@montefiore.org).
