Cancer Epidemiology

Cancer continues to be the second leading cause of death in Michigan.

Comprehensive cancer control is an approach to reduce the incidence and mortality of cancer by preventing it, detecting it early, treating it, and caring for those who are diagnosed with it. In Michigan, several programs work together to reduce the burden of cancer by:

  1. utilizing surveillance data;
  2. implementing policy, systems and environmental change;
  3. promoting health equity; and
  4. demonstrating outcomes through evaluation.

This page includes links to cancer surveillance reports, fact sheets, infographics, presentations and other data products produced by the MDHHS Chronic Disease Epidemiology Section.

For additional information on cancer-related activities and resources in Michigan, please visit the MDHHS Cancer Program website.

If you are looking for specific cancer surveillance data that you do not see here, or if you need accessibility assistance reading any of the documents on this or other MDHHS Cancer Epidemiology webpages, please contact the MDHHS Chronic Disease Epidemiology Section at MDHHS-ChronicEPI@michigan.gov.
