Colon Cancer Death Rates Not Dropping in Southern States of U.S.

According to a report from the Doctor's Lounge, the southern part of the U.S. is not seeing a drop in colon cancer death rates. The diagnosis of cancer can lead an individual unable to work. When a severe medical condition is expected to end in death or lead to disability for at least a year, it could qualify you to receive Social Security disability benefits.

Those who live in the south aren't seeing the same results as other states like New York and Massachusetts which are seeing as much as a 33% drop. While no data has been analyzed it is thought that some of the contributing factors to this are that those who live in the south don't get screened for colon cancer as much as other states, high numbers don't have insurance coverage, and there is a higher rate of obesity and smoking (risk factors for colon cancer).

Despite the general decrease in colon cancer deaths, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that it still remains one of the top leading cancers to cause death for people in the U.S.
