Counties with the Highest Cancer Rates in Oklahoma
As time goes on, we're continually learning more and more about cancer.
What the causes and contributors are. Hidden causes previously unknown. Viable proven treatments for some variants, and an endless curiosity in the search for others.
One thing is certain, the atmosphere around us contributes as much to cancer rates as our own DNA.
Personal habits can cause it. Our diets can cause it. Air quality, water contamination, work hazards, etc... Farmers develop cancer at an alarming rate as they age, probably from all of the chemicals they use annually.
Across the Sooner State, the CDC statistics don't exactly paint a clear picture, but experts say we're entering a turning point in the battle against cancer. So many people have been touched by this disease, the fundraising and awareness have never been greater.
Here's how Oklahoma stacks up against cancer.
