Cancer epidemiology/medical demography:
The goal is to assess the importance of births, social and economic
resources and family situation for cancer incidence and survival. Norwegian
register data provide exceptional opportunities for a statistical exploration
of such relationships. Methodolgical issues are also
addressed: A new method for cancer survial analysis
is proposed, and the importance of including both men and women in such studies
is demonstrated.
