Epidemiology of colon cancer in Scandinavia
Isr J Med Sci.
1979 Apr.
Abstract
The occurrence of colon cancer in four Scandinavian (Nordic) countries--Finland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden--is described. In addition, a number of correlations relevant to the etiology of colon cancer are presented. The observable differences in the risk for colon cancer among the Nordic countries can largely be accounted for by socioeconomic factors.
