| Abstract |
The Cancer-Environment Registry (CER) was created by linking information at the individual level in the Swedish Cancer Registry for the period 1961-1973 with information from the census carried out in 1960. This linkage made it possible to study cancer morbidity in various occupational groups specified by the census. This report demonstrates the problems, explains the use of register epidemiology and presents results from analyses of CER data performed at the National Swedish Board of OSH. |
