Spatial Clusters of Breast Cancer Mortality and Incidence in the Contiguous USA: 2000 –2014

Some of the clusters persisted even after adjusting for several key risk factors. These geographic areas warrant further investigation to potentially identify additional local concerns or needs to further address female breast cancer in those specific sites.
