Motivation of the application
Cancer remains to be an significant cause of death around the world. The cancer types and early treatment are fatal to the chance of survival. The average five-year survival rate of people with cancer is 66% in the U.S.. One among 5 people who passed away is killed by cancer each year in the United States, and the number in the world is 100-350 per 100000.
This project aims to offer guidance for cancer prevention and treatment at a high level by presenting the following:
- One D3 sunburst diagram to identify hierarchical, proportional relationship between leading cancer sites and its sub categories. It also shows how the relationship changes over time.
- One R Shiny dashboard to enable users to interactively exploring the geographic and demographic features of cancers.
Dataset
The dataset is sourced from Centers for Disease Control in USA, see CDC America
- Cancer Sites: There are 20 leading cancer sites and 4 hierarchies in total.
- Age_Group: The group standard was 5 years in one group. The details are <1 year, 1-4 years, 5-9 years, 10-14 years, 15-19 years, 20-24 years, 25-29 years, 30-34 years, 35-39 years, 40-44 years, 45-49 years, 50-54 years, 55-59 years, 60-64 years, 65-69 years, 70-74 years, 75-79 years, 80-84 years, 85+ years.
- Region: The United States is split into 4 regions: Northeast, Midwest, South and West.
- States: All 50 states and the District of Columbia are represented for all years. Data for Puerto Rico are available for years 2006 and later.
- Sex: Female and male.
- Race: There are 4 racial categories included in the data: "American Indian or Alaska Native," "Asian or Pacific Islander," "Black or African American," and "White."
- Incidence Counts: The number of diagnoses of cancer in living persons.
- Death Counts: The number of deaths.
- Age-Adjusted Rates for Incidence and Mortality:
Note that Age-adjusted rates are calculated with age distribution ratios from the world standard million population, and the rates are shown per 100,000 population.The potential confounding effect of age is reduced when comparing age-adjusted rates computed using the same standard million population.

Review on Past Works
With the dataset, there has been CDC Dashboard
On the CDC(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) official website, the dashboards it published don’t include any information about cancers. Cancers information is a vacancy of CDC. However cancer is a catchy disease for human due to its cruel and horrible. So our work fill the gaps between CDC and cancers.
