I first taught 10 Master's level students a course on using disease surveillance software along with information on using ArcGIS for mapping and also using the Statistical Analysis System for modeling risk factors. All students worked together to learn as a team everything they needed to learn so that in the following semester each student on her/his own could work on an individual project. In this case, Bridget Fritsch chose to work on breast cancer clusters in the USA.

Well done, Raid. Just as anyone who's family has been touched by breast cancer, I certainly hope your research can make a difference.

Thank you Peter. Poorer populations have a high rate of cancer mortality while richer populations have a higher cancer incidence rate and low mortality. They see their doctors and they catch the cancers early.

Thank you Helen.

I am today giving a radio interview about this issue New York has a well known issue with high breast cancer rates that after over 25 years of investigations still are unresolved.

Great work Raid! Thanks for your perseverance and dedication.

My mother's sister, who lived in New York City, died at the relatively young age of 50 from breast cancer. She definitely could be included in the poorer population category. Here's hoping folks like her will be helped in the future as a result of your hard work.

Thank you Ellen.
Investigators ignore environmental pollution and they keep on getting no leads on why breast cancer rates are very high in some regions of the US.
