Pa Cancer Death Rate Increase Across 40 Counties
Health Secretary Leonard Bachman told the House Mines and Energy Management Committee that cancer deaths rose in 40 of Pennsylvania's 67 counties from 1974 to 1975, with the statewide rate up from 196.4 to 1975 per 100,000. Counties like Erie and Lancaster saw increases while Philadelphia and Allegheny had fewer deaths. He warned the problem may be understated due to limited tumor registries and urged passage of the Pennsylvania Cancer Plan funded by a one cent per pack cigarette tax.
