Geographical distribution of certain cancers in South Africa, 1968-1972.
The geographical distributions of six major causes of cancer mortality in South Africa have been analysed for three population groups: White, Coloured and Asian. Because of the lack of comparable data, the majority Black population is not included. Geographical patterns are compared and discussed in the light of findings from other countries. In several cases the potential for aetiological follow-up is demonstrated.
