Example L Kono (2004) conducted an ecological study in Japan that compared consumption of selected nutrients with annual colon cancer incidence and mortality across time. Annual per capita consumption data of selected nutrients and foods was obtained from nationwide surveys, which were conducted from 1950 to 2000 and contained data from randomly selected houses across the nation. The food group identified as meat contained poultry and fish. Consumption of red meat was not available for the early years. Annual age-adjusted rates of cancer incidence (from cancer registries) were available for the period 1975 to 1997, and age-adjusted mortality rates were available for the period 1950 and 2000.

Prostate cancer incidence and mortality vary in different countries and racial groups, and this implicates not only genetic or hereditary differences but also environmental and dietary factors. American Blacks have the highest incidence and mortality, followed by Whites and lastly Asians. Black and Asian Americans...

With more than 10 million new cases every year, cancer is one of the most devastating diseases worldwide. The disease burden is immense, not only for affected individuals but also for their relatives and friends. At the community level, cancer has posed considerable challenges for the health care systems in both poor and rich countries. The World Cancer Report (WCR) of 2007 provides a unique global view of cancer. It documents the frequency of cancer in different countries and trends in cancer incidence and mortality as well as describing the known causes of human cancer [1] (Table 1).

United States and Japanese scientists (the Radiation Effects Research Foundation RERF) on 92 000 survivors who were within 10 km of the center of the respective blasts and 27 000 others who were not in either city at the time of the explosions. The study includes detailed dose reconstruction for 76 000 individuals and medical follow-up on as many of the survivors as possible. As the follow-up has continued, the RERF has periodically published updates of the cancer incidence and mortality data for these populations. Data as of 1988 showed a total of 3435 cancers, of which 357 were radiation induced. From these data, excess cancer risks are calculated which form the basis for many of the current radiation risk factors in use today. It should be noted that a large fraction of the atomic bomb survivors are still alive, particularly those who were irradiated as children, so that additional information can be anticipated as this population continues to be studied.

Cancer incidence and mortality was examined in the area around the Castlereagh Regional Waste Disposal depot, New South Wales, Australia which had received over one million tonnes of liquid waste and an unspecified range of solid domestic industrial and hazardous waste since 1974.19 This study considered indirectly age/sex standardised ratios in areas within 3 km of the site using cancer data for the period 1974-1998 and mortality data for the period 1975-1992. No excess cancer or mortality rates were found except for brain cancer but this excess could not be confirmed on reanalysis of the data.
