Descriptive Epidemiology of Hodgkin's Disease in Italy

Tumori Journal, 1989
Death certification data on Hodgkin's disease in Italy over the period 1955-84 were studied in terms of age-standardized and age-specific national trends, and of geographical variation in mortality. There were substantial declines in death rates from the early 1970's onward, which can be largely attributed to therapeutic improvements.

Descriptive epidemiology of genitourinary cancers

Seminars in Oncology Nursing, 1993
The American Cancer Society estimates that, in 1993, genitourinary (GU) cancers will account for about 37% of all new cases of cancer in men and about 4% in women. Approximately 18% of all cancer deaths in men and 3% in women will be from GU cancers. Identifying the differences in the occurrence of testicular, prostate, bladder, and renal cancer by age,

Descriptive Epidemiology of Alzheimer’s Disease
