Colorectal Cancer Data Dashboard
The American Cancer Society National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable’s Colorectal Cancer Data Dashboard (CRC Data Dashboard) offers an interactive geospatial view of data pertaining to colorectal cancer in the United States. Learn more about the Dashboard below.
The CRC Data Dashboard is a dynamic national platform that integrates layers from multiple sources and allows you to interactively explore data using maps and graphs, including:
- CRC surveillance data (incidence rates, mortality rates)
- CRC screening rates
- Healthcare settings (Commission of Cancer hospitals, Federally Qualified Health Centers, National Cancer Institute Designated Cancer Centers)
- Demographics (age, race and Hispanic origin, poverty status, educational attainment)
- Additional health measures (smoking, binge drinking, obesity)
These maps can be used by researchers, public health professionals, policymakers, and others to understand and illustrate the burden of colorectal cancer in communities across the United States and assist in planning and tailoring interventions.
View the Video Tutorial to learn more about the CRC Dashboard, below.
Drop-in “office hours” to assist new users with using the mapping tool will also be offered on Thursday, August 15, 2024 from 1:00-2:00 PM ET.

2023 Lead Time Messaging Guidebook
This Guidebook is intended to provide you with information and tools to motivate individuals at average and heightened risk for CRC to discuss screening prior to the recommended screening age. Our belief is that this will increase the likelihood that they will prioritize getting screened on-time for CRC.
