Atlas of cancer incidence in England and Wales 1968-85

This is the first atlas of cancer incidence in England and Wales. In 75 colour maps it shows the distribution of many different types of cancer in the country, based on over 3 million malignancies incident during 1968-85. Tables of the data are presented, to allow readers to conduct their own analyses based upon them. The relationships of cancer distributions to those of potentially causal factors are considered and all known risk factors for each cancer are discussed. The geographic distributions of many of these factors are presented in maps and tables. This unique atlas shows how the distributions of certain cancers, such as lung cancer, have changed greatly, whilst others, such as stomach and breast cancers, have remained little altered over the last half century. With a foreword by Sir Richard Doll, this atlas provides the most authoritative and comprehensive up-to-date study of the field available.
