Incidence:  For all races and ages, District #19’s incidence rate was higher than Missouri’s rate.  Women >50 years old have a higher incidence rate than women <50 years old in both District #19 and the state.  For District #19, the incidence rate among women >50 years old was higher than the state’s rate for the same age group.  The incidence rate was higher among black women for both the state and the district.  Among black women, the incidence rate was higher for the district than the entire state. Mortality:  For all races and ages, the district’s mortality rate was lower than the state rate.  The mortality rate for women >50 years old was lower than Missouri’s mortality rate for the same age group.  Among white women, the district’s mortality rates were lower than Missouri rate for all age groups.  The mortality rates for blacks could not be reported because there were fewer than 10 cases. Survival:  For all races and ages, the district’s cause-specific survival rates were equal or a slightly higher than Missouri’s rates.  For women <50 years old, the district survival rate was higher than the state’s rate.  For women >50 years old, Missouri survival rates were almost equal or lower than the district’s rates.  Among white females, the district’s rate was equal to the Missouri survival rate for the same race.  Among black females, Missouri’s survival rate was lower than the district’s survival rate.  For District #19, the survival rate among black women was higher than the survival rate among white women.  For all disease stages, the district’s survival rate was higher than the Missouri survival rate. Overall, while the incidence of breast cancer is relatively high compared to the state, the mortality and survival outcomes are good. Very informative for decision makers and public health practitioners. Easily accessible and understood by women with breast cancer, family members/friends and the general public. The profile might be used to explore effectiveness of current breast cancer initiatives and interventions at the district level. The results could be used to study Impact of coverage and accessibility to screening and health care services. Linking the profile to GIS reports might be used to explore issues related to social inequality in District #19. MCR data collection activities are supported in part by a cooperative agreement between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) (#U58/DP003924-04) and a Surveillance Contract between DHSS and the University of Missouri (MU). Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, other than skin cancer. Over 12 % of women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. Missouri cancer incidence and mortality rates are displayed in tables on the Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services website by geographic area (state, region and county), by stage at diagnosis and by demographic characteristics (age, race, etc.) and in similar visual displays on the Missouri Cancer Registry and Research Center (MCR-ARC) website. Given that breast cancer incidence and mortality vary by race, stage at diagnosis and geographic region, MCR-ARC wanted to produce data that would be of interest to lawmakers as well as public health officials but no staff were available to create the fact sheets unless this task could be assigned to a graduate student. To produce breast cancer profile fact sheets for each senatorial district in Missouri. Student to the Rescue: Creating a Profile of Female Breast Cancer for Missouri State Senate District #19 Awatef Ahmed Ben Ramadan, MD, MPH 1,2,3 ; Chester Schmaltz, PhD 1,2 ; Jeannette Jackson-Thompson, MSPH, PhD 1,2,3 University of Missouri-Columbia (MU): 1 Missouri Cancer Registry and Research Center (MCR-ARC), 2 School of Medicine Department of Health Management and Informatics (HMI), 3 MU Informatics Institute (MUII) To create a profile for female breast cancer for Missouri State Senate districts, beginning with District # 19, and compare the district profile to the Missouri female breast cancer profile. We linked our female breast cancer data to the SSDI and NDI data to obtain complete survival information through 2011. Cases in counties split by senate districts were geocoded to determine their district for incidence and survival data; mortality data from NCHS was only available at the county level. Population data at the district, age, race, and year level was created by combining Census ACS and PEP data. A specific database was created by MCR=ARC’s Senior Statistician and loaded into a statistical software package developed for the SEER program to analyze cancer data. We calculated Missouri female breast cancer incidence and mortality rates for the period from 01/01/2008 to 12/31/2012 and survival for 01/01/2004 to 12/31/2010 using SEER*Stat software. The calculated rates were by age, race, breast cancer stage, and district. We used the Census Bureau’s Cartographic Boundary Files to create maps of Missouri Senate Districts. We uploaded our results along with the cartographic files to the InstantAtlas Desktop and created interactive mapping reports that displayed female breast cancer incidence, survival, and mortality rates by Missouri State Senate District. We will attach our interactive mapping reports to MCR-ARC’s website. The interactive reports will include maps, graphs, and tables for the 34 Missouri State Senate Districts. Incidence, mortality and survival rates were measured for each of the 34 Missouri State Senate districts. Here, we present the female breast cancer profile for District #19, which includes Boone and Cooper counties, and compare the results to Missouri rates. METHODS CONCLUSION BACKGROUND SUMMARY Female Breast Cancer Incidence Rates by Race and Age: Female Breast Cancer Mortality Rates by Race and Age: “I need all the information found in a progress note so that I can see the progression of my disease.” “I need the Lab section so that I can keep track of all the labs I have taken and the ones that I need to take.” “I would like the Plan section just in case I forget what my doctor told me to do.” “I prefer having my information online because I will lose the paper that my doctor gives me. I know the information will always be available to me online.” PURPOSE RESULTS Female Breast Cancer 5-Year Cause-Specific Survival Rates:
