长期以来，人们一直需要精细地理分辨率的癌症发病率数据，以用于病因学假设生成和检验、方法学评估和教学。在本文中，我们描述了一个公共领域的数据集，包含2005年至2009年在美国纽约州诊断的23个解剖部位的癌症在人口普查块组水平的数据。该数据集包括分布在13，823个区块组中的524，503个肿瘤，平均人口约为1400。此外，这些数据还与种族/族裔以及收入、教育程度和语言熟练程度等社会经济指标相联系。我们通过确认两个已经建立的关系来证明数据集的应用：乳腺癌和家庭收入中位数之间的关系以及胃癌和亚洲种族之间的关系。我们预计，该数据集将作为广泛的空间分析的基础，并作为未来评估空间方法的基准。
There has long been a demand for cancer incidence data at a fine geographic resolution for use in etiologic hypothesis generation and testing, methodological evaluation and teaching. In this paper we describe a public domain dataset containing data for 23 anatomic sites of cancer diagnosed in New York State, USA between 2005 and 2009 at the census block group level. The dataset includes 524,503 tumours distributed across 13,823 block groups with an average population of about 1400. In addition, the data have been linked with race/ethnicity and with socioeconomic indicators such as income, educational attainment and language proficiency. We demonstrate the application of the dataset by confirming two well-established relationships: that between breast cancer and median household income and that between stomach cancer and Asian race. We foresee that this dataset will serve as the basis for a wide range of spatial analyses and as a benchmark for evaluating spatial methods in the future.
