About this Item

Unread Tan cloth hardcover, from closed pharmaceutical company library. Lending record shows this book has never been borrowed. Felt tip mark on page edges. 674 pages, index, illustrated with data tables. This scarce original publication is part of a series of books with detailed lists of rates for major cancers for every county in the United States covering the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. The information has been obtained from the state cancer registries and then compiled by researchers at the National Cancer Institute. The information found in this series is more precise than the NCI's 2000 Cancer Atlas. Mason and his colleagues listed cancer rates by decades while the NCI's 2000 effort includes only two categories: 1950-69 and 1970-94. There are columns for percentage change over each decade. Anyone wishing to study the possible relationship between cancer and any environmental agent should consider this series. This Volume III shows data for: Cancer of the Eye; brain and other parts of the nervous system; thyroid gland; thymus and other endocrine glands; lymphosarcoma and reticulum cell sarcoma including other lymphoma; Hodgkin's disease; multiple myeloma; leukemias; secondary, site unspecified and not previously listed cancers. Contents clean, tight and bright.
