Lung Cancer Cases at Advanced Stage When Diagnosed

Lung Cancer Cases at Advanced Stage When Diagnosed

Percent of lung cancer cases that were diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease. Cancer is considered to be at an advanced stage when it is regional (has spread beyond the primary site to nearby lymph nodes, organs or tissues) or distant (has spread from the primary site to distant organs or distant lymph nodes).

Cancer is a leading cause of death in the United States and Florida. Public health is concerned with threats to the health of a community based on population health analysis. By monitoring patterns of health and illness, including incidence of disease and causes of death, we are able to identify where and in what populations the disease occurs, better identify its causes and risk factors, and measure what preventive actions effectively reduce disease and death.

In 2021, the percentage of Lung Cancer Cases at Advanced Stage When Diagnosed in Alachua County was 58.8 compared to Florida at 61.9. The line graph shows change over time when there are at least three years of data.

Alachua County is in the first quartile for this measure. This means that relative to other counties in Florida, the percentage of Lung Cancer Cases at Advanced Stage When Diagnosed is more in about three quarters of the counties.

The map illustrates county data by quartile. A quartile map is presented when there are at least 51 counties with data for this measure.

Data Note(s)

Data Source: University of Miami (FL) Medical School, Florida Cancer Data System

  • ICD-10-CM Code(s): C34

  • Chart will display if there are at least three years of data.

  • Multi-year counts are a sum of the selected years, not an average.

  • Quartiles are calculated when data is available for at least 51 counties.

  • MOV - Measure of Variability: Probable range of values resulting from random fluctuations in the number of events. Not calculated when numerator is below 5 or denominator is below 20, or count or rate is suppressed. The MOV is useful for comparing rates to a goal or standard. For example, if the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is less than the MOV, the county rate is not significantly different from the statewide rate (alpha level = 0.05). When the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is greater than the MOV, the county rate is significantly different from the statewide rate. MOV should not be used to determine if the rates of two different counties, or the county rates for two different years, are statistically significantly different.

  • Denom - abbreviated for Denominator.

  • Population estimates are not available for persons whose county of residence is unknown. Given this, the denominator and associated rate are not available.

  • * - Indicates the county rate is statistically significantly different from the statewide rate.

  • Blank data fields indicate results have been suppressed because counts are between 1 and 9.
  • This is primary, quantitative data.
  • All population-based rates are calculated using July 1 Florida population estimates from the Florida Legislature, Office of Economic and Demographic Research.
