Maps of clusters of states with the highest non-Hodgkin lymphoma rates in the USA
Below are maps of clusters of states with the highest non-Hodgkin lymphoma rates in the USA. The clusters were found by counting the number of shared borders among states with the highest non-Hodgkin lymphoma incidence and mortality rates for every combination of gender and race/ethnicity.
Included are also the lists of states with the highest non-Hodgkin lymphoma rates.
