What Are Some Applications of GIS in Cancer Epidemiology?
GIS applications in cancer epidemiology include:
Cancer Cluster Analysis: Identifying geographical areas with a higher than expected number of cancer cases. Environmental Exposure Mapping: Correlating cancer incidence with environmental factors such as pollution, radiation, and chemical exposure. Healthcare Access Analysis: Evaluating the accessibility and availability of healthcare facilities and cancer treatment centers. Socio-economic Mapping: Linking cancer incidence with socio-economic factors like income, education, and occupation.
