This atlas of cancer incidence in Scotland offers a wealth of illuminating data. International differences are large, and within Scotland itself the variations are marked. Variation of incidence is three-fold for common cancers such as large bowel and lung, and seven-fold for the less frequent cancer of the lip and leukemia. Glasgow exhibits the highest incidence of lung cancer in the world, with one such cancer in every 500 males each year.
