Public health: Health atlas maps the state of cancers

The Public Health Information Department at Torrens University has developed the first national atlas of cancer incidence by community and locality across the nation. Cancer hotspots across Australia have been reveled for the first time as medics aim to target towns and regions most at risk. You can find the atlas here, which maps cancer incidence according to state and territory, socioeconomic status and remoteness.
