title: Space-time clustering and bone tumours: application of Knox's method to data from a population-based cancer registry.
abstract: The possibility of space-time clustering in osteosarcoma and Ewing's tumour was studied in a sample of 182 patients aged under 25 years, drawn from a population-based cancer registry. No evidence of space-time clustering was found for either disease and this finding supports previous work in this field.
