Cancer Signal Maps by County

Together, We Work to Document Communities' Lived Experiences with Cancer

PCIST Community Cancer Signal maps use communities’ actual, unadjusted cancer incidence rates to paint a picture of the lived experiences of cancer in relation to known major sources of pollution. All communities and all cases of cancer count as “significant”.

Simply click on the PA county where you live to view to view our maps for your city, town or borough. Every community matters, and new counties will be added as often as our funding and time allows.

If you don’t see one for your community, or don’t see your county listed here yet, please feel free to email and make a request.
