Cancer in Vermont
Unfortunately, cancer is common.
Roughly four out of ten people in Vermont will develop cancer in their lifetime.
Anyone can develop cancer, but the risk of being diagnosed with cancer increases with age, and most cancers occur in adults who are middle-aged or older.
Early detection and screening
is important, so talk to your doctor about different screening options frequently as you age.
Key Points
Prostate, lung, and bronchus cancer are the most common cancers in Vermont men.
Breast and lung cancer are the most common cancers in Vermont women.
Vermonters are more likely to have a UV-associated cancer (like skin cancer or melanoma) compared to U.S. adults.

Cancer and Environment FAQs
Do environmental factors cause cancer?
Cancers generally develop gradually because of a complex mix of factors related to lifestyle choices, environment, and genetics. Each type of cancer is caused by a different set of factors—some well-established, some uncertain, and some unknown. The exact causes of most cancers are unknown, and research continues to examine how and why normal cellular growth becomes uncontrolled. Different types of cancers in a community or workplace do not necessarily have the same cause.
Over two-thirds of cancers are due to factors related to how we live. Tobacco use, heavy drinking, a poor diet, physical inactivity, obesity, and overexposure to sunlight increase the risk for cancer.
Scientists have identified trends in cancer that sometimes correlate with the presence of certain environmental pollutants. This correlation does not rule out other causes, but suggests that environmental factors may increase the risk for particular cancers.
What are examples of environmental pollutants that are associated with cancer?
Radon and lung cancer
Pesticides and cancers of the blood and lymphatic system
Arsenic and bladder cancer but suggests that environmental factors may increase the risk for particular cancers.
