The maps in this atlas present age-standardized incidence rates by sex for the approximately 220 countries of the former German Democratic Republic. The cancer sites mapped are those for which the numbers are large enough for the geographical variations to be meaningful. In addition to the color maps, detailed tables present the data used in compiling the maps, and diagrams illustrate age-specific incidence rates over a 20-year period. A lucid discussion on the possible relevant risk factors, and on the patterns seen in the ...
