Along with the top hospitals in every state,
Stacker created a list of the states with the highest cancer rates. Using data from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they ranked all 50 states and the District of Columbia by their incidence rates of cancer. Fortunately, nationally, Indiana is at the low end of the spectrum. Indiana placed at number 34. However, the data suggests that lung cancer is high in Indiana, comparatively, with lower survival rates.
