This article reviews our experience with the use of the cancer atlas of Slovakia, published in 1989 which presented simultaneously the cancer incidence and mortality rates derived from national population-based cancer registries. Contrary to all expectations, the role of the environmental pollution was confirmed only for nonmelanoma skin cancer and arsenic exposure. Valuable information was obtained also for the study of dynamics of cancer distribution, which revealed a shift in the incidence of stomach cancer to the east and its replacement with colorectal cancer in the western part of the country. Of enormous importance for the comprehensive cancer care and control is the knowledge of incidence and mortality rates at the level of individual districts.
本文回顾了我们使用1989年出版的斯洛伐克癌症地图集的经验，该地图集同时展示了基于全国人口的癌症登记处得出的癌症发病率和死亡率。与所有预期相反，仅在非黑色素瘤皮肤癌和砷暴露方面证实了环境污染的作用。在癌症分布动态研究方面也获得了有价值的信息，该研究揭示了该国西部地区胃癌发病率向东部转移，并被结直肠癌所取代。对于全面的癌症护理和控制而言，了解各个地区的发病率和死亡率至关重要。
