The place of residence of all cases of childhood cancer occurring in the Northern Region from 1968 to 1982 has been analysed by electoral wards. The wards have been ranked according to rate and Poisson probability. Both rankings show a wide geographical scatter throughout the region of areas with an apparent excess incidence of cancer. These areas are not confined to the Cumbrian coast.
对1968年至1982年发生在北部地区的所有儿童癌症病例的居住地,按选区进行了分析。各选区已根据发病率和泊松概率进行了排名。两种排名都显示,在整个地区,癌症发病率明显过高的地区在地理上分布广泛。这些地区并不局限于坎布里亚海岸。
