Incidence of cancer of the respiratory and upper digestive tract in urban and rural Eastern Austria

The Relationship between Population Density and Cancer Mortality in Taiwan

“…Most studies reported so far have found a clear urban excess for colon and rectum cancers. 1,4,6,8,10) This was the case for our study also. However, the trends for colon and rectum cancer were sex-linked.…”

Urbanization gradients and cancer mortality in Uruguay, 1988–1992

“…In contrast with other reports (Nasca et al, 1990;Mahoney et al, 1990;Swoboda and Friedl, 1991), esophageal cancer in Uruguay displayed an inverse and significant monotonic gradient leading to a high death rate and risk among dwellers of the sparsely populated areas of the country. No significant interaction between sex and region was found.…”

“…With the exception of the report of Zatonski et al (1990), the remaining studies reported increased rates of stomach cancer in urban regions (Nasca et al, 1990;Mahoney et al, 1990;Swoboda and Friedl, 1991;Howe et al, 1993). The results of this study displays a rural excess in both sexes.…”

“…Again, most studies have reported increased relative risks with population density (Nasca et al, 1990;Mahoney et al, 1990;Swoboda and Friedl, 1991;Howe et al, 1993). The urban predominance of lung cancer was evident in the present study among males, but not among females.…”

“…This review included comparisons among in Cancer Registries from developed countries. Also, most studies on urban risk were similarly conducted in the so-called First World (Murata et al, 1988;Miller et al, 1987;Nasca et al, 1990;Mahoney et al, 1990;Swoboda and Friedl, 1991;Herity, 1989;Blondell, 1988;Greenberg, 1983;Polednak et al, 1991;Friis and Storm, 1993). Thus, our report concerning urban risks of cancer in a partially developing country shows some interesting and diverging results when compared with reports from developed countries.…”
