A member asked:

What parts of the u.s. have the highest cancer rates?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NE is worst overall: The North East US is clearly worst by the CDC map: http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/dcpc/data/state.htm Everyone jokes about NJ but they are about as bad as several others. By far worst is KY, likely from coal mining.
