Maps of clusters of states with the highest testicular cancer rates in the USA

Below are maps of clusters of states with the highest testicular cancer rates in the USA. The clusters were found by counting the number of shared borders among states with the highest testicular cancer incidence and mortality rates of white, black, and Hispanic men.

Included are also the lists of states with the highest testicular cancer rates.
