Cancer incidence by Ethnic Group in England, 2001-2007
… There are large unexplained variations in the incidence of many cancers globally and the incidence of cancer in migrant populations can contribute to our understanding of aetiology for cancers for which there are few established risk factors. Studying different ethnic groups in the same country …

Breast cancer incidence and survival trends by molecular subtypes in Scotland
Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer among women and leading contributor to cancer mortality, hence constitutes a major public health issue worldwide. In Scotland, over 4,000 women are diagnosed with BC every year and around a 1,000 die from this disease. Monitoring incidence, …

Bone Cancer Incidence in Texas Counties With Elevated Radium Content in Drinking Water
This research investigates the incidence rate of a site-specific cancer in counties with elevated levels of a naturally occurring radionuclide present in drinking water. The radionuclide present is radium which deposits in bone tissue and emits alpha particle radiation when it decays. Radium dose …

Spatio-temporal modelling of breast cancer incidence between 2000 and 2021 at sub-national levels in Iran: Bayesian disease mapping
While in Iran trends in breast cancer incidence are generally monitored at the national level, little is known about sub-national variation in these trends. This project aims to assess levels and trends (2000-2021) of relative risk of breast cancer incidence and mortality at sub-national levels in …
