In the beginning, before there is analysis, there must be accurate description. How much cancer is there, and how do rates of occurrence vary geographically, and between sexes, and with age How do rates of different types of cancer vary over time, and what happens to the rates that occur in specific groups of people when they move from one geographic location to another Information describing these types of differences and trends - which can be compiled with accuracy only when cancer registry information is reliable - are enormously beneficial in providing clues to the causes of cancer. The statistical data presented in Chapter 5 arose from these types of studies.
