title: [Some interpretation of regional estimates of the incidence of cancer in France over the period 1980--2005].
abstract: Francim Network has already provided French national estimations of cancer incidence then regional estimations for Metropolitan France. The present technical note summarizes the underlying hypotheses and the limits of the method and suggests some aspects of interpretation of those regional results in terms of absolute numbers and of standardized rates. Results on "all cancers" illustrate those comments.
