LTR Late-Stage Proportions Cluster Maps: Louisiana, 2016-2020 Age 50-74, with SaTScan Clusters (Census Tract-Level)

Colorectal Cancer All-Stage Incidence Rate: Louisiana, 2016-2020, Age 50-74, with SaTScan Clusters

Generated by Louisiana Tumor Registry, 06/26/2023. The incidence rate of each census tract is calculated by the aggregated rate of the surrounding area, centering on the centroid of the census tract, to ensure the stability and confidentiality. Each of the surrounding area contains at least 20,000 population and 16 cases. The rates are age-adjusted to US standard 2000 population. The circles are clusters detected by SaTScan software. Blue circles are statistically significant at 0.05 level.

Colorectal Cancer Late-Stage Incidence Rate: Louisiana, 2016-2020, Age 50-74, with SaTScan Clusters

Generated by Louisiana Tumor Registry, 06/26/2023.

Late-Stage incidence rate of each census tract is calculated by the aggregated rate of the surrounding area, centering on the centroid of the census tract, to ensure the stability and confidentiality. Each of the surrounding area contains at least 20,000 population and 16 late-stage cases. The rates are age-adjusted to US standard 2000 population.

Late stage includes “Regional” and “Distant”.

The circles are clusters detected by SaTScan software. Blue circles are statistically significant at 0.05 level.

Colorectal Cancer Late-Stage Proportion: Louisiana, 2016-2020, Age 50-74, with SaTScan Clusters

Generated by Louisiana Tumor Registry, 06/26/2023

Late-Stage Proportion of each census tract is calculated by the aggregated proportion of the surrounding area, centering on the centroid of the census tract, to ensure the stability and confidentiality. Each of the surrounding area contains at least 100 cases and 21 late-stage cases.

Late stage includes “Regional” and “Distant”. All Stages include “In Situ”, “Localized”, “Regional”, “Distant”, and “Unstaged”.

The circles are clusters detected by SaTScan software (p-value<0.1). Blue circles are statistically significant at 0.05 level.
