Cancer Mortality and Urbanization in China

ROBIN HAYNES

School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia Norwich, NR4 7TJ, UK

Differences in risk factors between rural and urban areas, the process of disease transition and geographically biased data recording might explain the association.
