Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports (MMWRs)
Surveillance for Cancers Associated with Tobacco Use—United States, 1999–2004
September 5, 2008 / Vol. 57 / No. SS08
MMWR Introduction
According to the MMWR Surveillance Summary, "Surveillance for Cancers Associated
with Tobacco Use—United States, 1999–2004," findings suggest that approximately
2.4 million cases of tobacco-related cancer were diagnosed during 1999–2004. High rates
occurred among men, black and non-Hispanic populations, and older adults. Higher incidence
rates of lung and laryngeal cancer occurred in the South compared with other regions,
particularly the West, consistent with high smoking patterns in the South.
