Cancer Rates and Risks

["JOHN JACOBUS" <JENDAY1@email.msn.com>]

Another interesting site for information on cancer rates and risk is

 http://rex.nci.nih.gov/NCI_Pub_Interface/raterisk/index.html

There is some international comparison, such as the following.

For males, incidence rates for all sites combined ranged from 493.8 per
100,000 in Tasmania, Australia, to a low of 59.1 in The Gambia. Rates for
U.S. males were 351.3 for blacks (SEER) and 330.4 for whites (SEER).
