Description:Cancer is the second leading cause of death in America. Compared to urban areas, rural areas have lower rates of new cancer cases, but the cancer death rate is higher. Rural areas are also making slower progress reducing new cases of cancer and cancer deaths. Rural residents have higher rates of lung, colorectal, and cervical cancers. Lung and colorectal cancers are among the deadliest. However, these cancers are also preventable. Cancer costs about $88 billion in health care each year in the U.S.
