This work deals with the relationship between natural radiation and cancer mortality in several areas of the Côtes-du-Nord département in Brittany. Although the study area and populations were small, the results were significant, particularly for stomach cancer. It is suggested that the scope of the study should be extended to cover the whole of Brittany, and comparative studies with other granitic areas, above all in the Celtic parts of the British Isles, should be considered.
