flag Iowa’s cancer rates rise in 2026, with farmers showing lower overall rates but higher risks for certain types.

flag Iowa’s cancer rates continue to rise, with 21,700 new invasive cases and 6,400 deaths projected in 2026, the state ranking second highest in the U.S. for incidence. flag Despite this, farmers and their spouses had 13% and 10% fewer cancers overall than the general population, likely due to healthier lifestyles and the “healthy-worker effect,” though they faced higher rates of prostate, lip, melanoma, and thyroid cancers. flag The number of cancer survivors has grown to 175,290, with rising rates among young adults and persistent concerns over environmental exposures like nitrates in water and pesticides.
