title: [Geography of mortality from all malignant neoplasms (Nr 140-208 according to the international classification of diseases) in the Katowice province in the years 1985-1990].
abstract: In the Province of Katowice, taking into account 93 administration units (45 towns and 48 communes), the geography of mortality from all malignant neoplasms of men and women in the years 1985-1990 was established. Some regions of the Province are at particular risk: form men they are mainly regions with mortality index exceeding 240 cases per 100,000 (Fig. 1), and for women regions with mortality index exceeding 130 cases per 100,000 (Fig. 2). In comparison to the available statistics of mortality from malignancies from other countries (and in them especially from industrialized regions similar to Upper Silesia) the level of the risk for malignancy development in the population is, as a rule, higher in Upper Silesia. The cohort analysis demonstrates in turn further progression of mortality from malignancies in the Upper Silesian populations in the next years.
