Lung cancer incidence in counties at low and high risk of Radon Exposure: A Population-Based SEER analysis (1975–2022)

This study illustrates how county-level radon data can be leveraged to enhance cancer surveillance and guide prevention and control strategies. Further research is needed to evaluate the impact and cost-effectiveness of radon prevention or mitigation policies, especially in females. We argue that public health systems, over the next fifty years, must prioritize eliminating the two main drivers of America's deadliest cancer.

Abstract

This study illustrates how county-level radon data can be leveraged to enhance cancer surveillance and guide prevention and control strategies. Further research is needed to evaluate the impact and cost-effectiveness of radon prevention or mitigation policies, especially in females. We argue that public health systems, over the next fifty years, must prioritize eliminating the two main drivers of America's deadliest cancer.
