Description

This is the first "user friendly" monograph to compare cancer incidence rates by region in South Louisiana and with the "national" rates. The data cover a four year period, 1983 - 1986, and include 35 parishes, representing 72% of the state's population. South Louisiana is the heartland of the Cajun culture and the most heavily industrialized area in the state. This monograph is intended to help convey Louisiana cancer facts to both scientific and non-scientific audiences.
