Rural Health Information Hub (RHIHub), in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control, National Cancer Institute, and the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, will be hosting the next free webinar in the CDC MMWR Rural Health Series. This webinar, “Rural Cancer: Data, Disparities, and Determination,” will provide insights into the recently released report Invasive Cancer Incidence, 2004-2013, and Deaths, 2006-2015, in Nonmetropolitan and Metropolitan Counties – United States. Jane Henley, co-author of the CDC MMWR, will share the data on the rural-urban disparities in cancer incidence and mortality and examine some of the factors contributing to these findings.

CDC will be joined by Dr. Robert Croyle, director of the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences within NIH’s National Cancer Institute, and Dr. Jane Bolin, director of the Southwest Rural Health Research Center at Texas A&M Health Science Center to discuss cancer control and community-level approaches aimed at reducing the risk of cancer among rural populations.
