Cancer Cases

Another thing that seemed to catch my eye would be the number of deaths caused by Cancer as altogether.  Cancer had replaced heart disease as the leading cause of death in North Carolina.  In 2006 the mortality rate had shown that heart disease dropped to second place as the cause of death.  Overall the death rates for North Carolina since 1990 has declined by more than 30 percent, but the numbers are still high.  Overall I have to say that I'm a bit surprised and I'll continue to keep a watch for this as time progresses.
