County Assessment Tool

South Dakota Cancer Incidence & Mortality
The South Dakota Cancer Registry (SDCR) offers a tool for quick comparisons of cancer data by county, including the five most diagnosed cancers and cancer-related deaths for South Dakota residents. It provides age-adjusted incidence and mortality rates along with the number of new cases and deaths for the most recent ten-year period (2011-2020).
The SDCR is a population-based registry that supports cancer programming, planning, and decision-making with high-quality surveillance. For more information, visit the SDCR page.
