The forensic examinations to determine cause of death allow study of the natural development of untreated diseases. In this study we retrospectively analysed malignant and/or intracranial tumours in a consecutive series of 7020 autopsies in northern Sweden. We found cancer in 171 cases in all, where sudden death was caused by previously undiscovered tumours in 41.
确定死因的法医检查有助于研究未治疗疾病的自然发展过程。在本研究中，我们回顾性分析了瑞典北部连续7020例尸检中的恶性肿瘤和/或颅内肿瘤。我们总共在171例中发现了癌症，其中41例的猝死是由先前未发现的肿瘤所致。
