Screening Guidelines
Investigating Unusual Patterns of Cancer
CDC/ATSDR has created a decision-making tool [PDF-169KB] that can be used by health departments for determining the need to further assess an unusual pattern of cancer. The tool contains a set of criteria that can be used to assess the cancer(s) of concern and/or related environmental risk factors. For more information, see Guidelines for Examining Unusual Patterns of Cancer and Environmental Concerns.
