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

2. 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

3. 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.

69. 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.
