Massachusetts Cancer Incidence - City and Town Data

Find standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) for 24 types of cancer in all 351 Massachusetts cities and towns for a 5-year time period.

Cancer Incidence - City & Town Data Dashboard

The Massachusetts Cancer Registry (MCR) is excited to release five new years of cancer incidence data for 2016-2020 at the city and town level in a new interactive online dashboard created through a collaboration with the Bureau of Climate and Environmental Health.

Cancer Incidence - City & Town Data Dashboard

The new dashboard provides the number of observed and expected diagnoses for 24 cancer types and all invasive cancers along with Standardized Incidence Ratios (SIRs) and measures of statistical significance and stability for each of the cities and towns in Massachusetts. Containing the same data as the MCR’s traditional city and town report, this dashboard goes further to provide graphical representation of the data and the ability to visualize trends for any consecutive 5 year period from 2000-2004 to 2016-2020. The 2016-2020 data were collected as of June 1, 2024

As of 2025, the MCR will no longer produce new city and town hard copy reports. Instead, new data will be updated in the interactive data dashboard.
