内容説明

The maps in this atlas present age-standardized mortality rates by sex for the 355 areas designated as being at Level II by the EEC statistical services. The information relates mainly to the period 1975-1980, for the nine countries that constituted the EEC during that period (Belgium, Denmark, France, Federal Republic of Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the UK). The cancer sites included are those for which the numbers are both large enough and reliable enough for the geographical variations seen to be meaningful. Based on over 3.6 million deaths from cancer, they reveal many distinctive patterns of cancer mortality distribution within the EEC which require further study. The maps may also be used as an aid in planning the provision of the health services required to combat cancer. In addition to the maps, tables of the data upon which they are based are presented, along with comments on the cancer patterns revealed and on possible causal factors.
