[Incidence of breast cancer in the Rhône area--influence of urban or rural character of the communities and of the population density].
The specific breast cancer register created in 1988 in the Rhône department demonstrated a high incidence of breast cancer among the women who live in this department (world standardised incidence rate = 79.4). This report presents the results according to two geographical aspects: the urban or rural structure of the area of residence and the population density. These analysis demonstrated an association between the high incidence of female breast cancer and the urban character of the department. However the results of incidence in the urban and rural zone were heterogeneous. The high incidence of breast cancer in the North of the department corresponding to a vineyard region confirmed this association.
