TL;DR: Breast cancer subtype analysis confirms the capacity of cancer registries to adjust national collection standards to produce clinically relevant data based on evolving medical knowledge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar ultraviolet-B exposure and cancer incidence and mortality in the United States, 1993–2002
TL;DR: The evidence for the influential role of solar UV-B exposure on cancer, particularly for some of the less-well studied digestive cancers, is added, possibly suggesting that the maintenance of adequate vitamin D levels is more critical for limiting tumor progression than for preventing tumor onset.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Nationwide Comparison of Driving Distance Versus Straight-Line Distance to Hospitals
TL;DR: It is concluded that for nonemergency travel to hospitals, the added precision offered by the substitution of travel distance, travel time, or both for straight-line distance is largely inconsequential.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Geographic visualization: designing manipulable maps for exploring temporally varying georeferenced statistics
TL;DR: The authors report on development and use of one component of a prototype GVis environment designed to facilitate exploration, by domain experts, of time series multivariate georeferenced health statistics and how manipulable dynamic GVis tools may facilitate visual thinking, pattern noticing, and hypothesis generation.
