CANCER MORTALITY IN AUSTRALIA

IT is difficult to discuss the cancel' mortality of individual organs adequately without the background of a systematic review of the total cancer mortality. I propose, therefore, to summarize the Australian official statistics bearing on cancel', in a first paper discussing mortality from all forms of cancel', and then in subsequent papers breaking down the total cancer mortality into the mortality from cancel' of the various organs and systems, In the case of some of the individual organs I shall use the information on parity and conjugal state available from official sources.
