title: A decline in the lung cancer incidence amongst men in Swedish cities.
abstract: A statistically-significant (p < 0.01) decrease in the incidence of lung cancer has been observed amongst men in larger Swedish cities, but not in the country as a whole. The decrease is foremostly attributable to changes within the group of older men (i.e., > 65 years). The investigation is based on the Swedish Cancer Registry and covers the period 1975-1989.
