I have a friend who asked me are cancer rates increasing. If age
specific rates are increasing does that mean that cancer deaths
are increasing. How can we tell if this is an artifact of people not
dieing from other deaths such as cardivascular ones at an earlier
age. Also is anyone aware of an article on the causes of cancer. I
recall richard doll did something on this in the early 1980s.
