Cancer registration permits to elaborate atlases that describe the spatial distribution of incidence within the registration area. The division of this area in small units is usually an administrative one, leading a wide range of unit sizes. Hence, results of indirect standardization are often difficult to interpret, due to the large variability of the observed cases. We used Huel's method (1986), which is based on the grouping of contiguous geographical zones that have the same incidence level. Here are displayed the results for cancer incidence within the "département de l'Isère" (France). We focus on method mechanisms and on the impact of the choice of the risk level.
癌症登记有助于绘制描述登记区域内发病率空间分布的地图集。将该区域划分为小单元通常是行政划分，导致单元大小范围很广。因此，由于观察到的病例差异很大，间接标准化的结果往往难以解释。我们使用了于埃尔方法（1986年），该方法基于对具有相同发病率水平的相邻地理区域进行分组。这里展示了法国伊泽尔省癌症发病率的结果。我们关注方法机制以及风险水平选择的影响。
