Description

Susan S. Devesa (au). This Atlas utilizes 1950-94 mortality data & population estimates to prepare county-based & state economic area-based maps of cancer mortality. Rates per 100,000 person-years, directly standardized using the 1970 U.S. population, are calculated by race (whites, blacks) & sex for 40 forms of cancer. More than 250 computerized color-coded maps show variations in cancer rates during 1970-94 & compares them with corresponding maps for 1950-69. Summary tables & figures are also presented. Accompanying text describes the variations for specific cancers & suggests explanations based on the risk factors identified by analytic studies.
