Cancer i Sverige - En deskriptiv analys av regionala skillnader
(2021) STAH11 20202Department of Statistics
- Abstract
- This paper sets out to investigate regional differences in cancer incidence and mortality in Sweden. By using descriptive analysis, the aim is to detect regional trends and patterns. Results show that cancer incidence is higher in the south of Sweden compared to the north, especially in Skin cancer (C44) and Malignant melanoma (C43). Morality rates do not show as clear of a geographical pattern. However, there is a distinct difference between regions which does not simply relate to high rates of incidence. The conclusion is that cancer incidence and mortality do differ significantly, and further research needs to be conducted to understand why.
