TextSeries: IARC technical report ; no. 1Publication details: Lyon : International Agency for Research on Cancer, 1988. Description: [105] pISBN: 9283214129Subject(s): Neoplasms -- epidemiology -- mortality | Costa Rica | Noncommunicable DiseasesNLM classification: QZ 200Abstract: Provides a detailed analysis of incidence and mortality from cancer in Costa Rica. The result of collaboration between the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the University of Costa Rica, the document provides a picture of geographic variation of cancer incidence within the country and compares the risks of different cancers with that in similar countries in Latin America and elsewhere. Information on time trends in mortality for the most frequent cancers is also presented, supported by maps illustrating geographic variations in incidence for each of these tumours. Childhood cancers were submitted to separate analysis. Many of the variations demonstrated in the document will serve as a useful basis for future analytic and laboratory investigations on the relationship between cancer risks and lifestyles and on endogenous host factors.
