title: [A system for monitoring cancer mortality].
abstract: "This paper reports the establishment of a system for monitoring cancer mortality of individuals forming approximately a 10 percent sample of the Canadian labour force.  Computerized record linkage was used in conjunction with the Canadian mortality data base maintained by Statistics Canada to determine the mortality experience of the cohort between 1965 and 1979.  Selected results are presented, some of which appear to indicate associations between the occupation and cause of death, and others of which seem likely to indicate the influence of lifestyle factors such as smoking and diet.  Cancer mortality is also presented by social class." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)
