Description
This volume, the first of its kind ever, is designed to provide both laypersons and professionals with a detailed description of the occurrence
of each common form of cancer in the ethnically, socially, and environmentally complex milieu of a modern urban complex. The place is
Los Angeles County, and the patterns of 72 different malignancies are described according to race, age, sex, social class calendar time
(since 1972) and most notably, individual neighborhood, using detailed maps of high risk.
The book permits residents to screen the malignancies
and identify those of special concern locally, and to identify other communities with similar concerns. The pattern of each malignancy
is briefly discussed with reference to background knowledge of causation and the degree to which the observed pattern was expected on
that basis. Persons residing outside Los Angeles County will identify patterns likely to prevail in their own communities.
Physicians
and scientific investigators in California and elsewhere can use the material provided to counsel patients and evaluate the consistency
of any specific pattern of occurrence with each specific causal hypothesis. A detailed appendix describes the source of data, provides
the basis for the choices made in the production of the volume, and gives a perspective on the search for ?clusters? of malignancy.
Audience
Epidemiologists, cancer registries, cancer investigators, chronic disease investigators, environmental scientists, and local and national government public health agencies.
