The association between an area-based measure of deprivation and survival from the I0 most common cancers was studied in 155,682 patients diagnosed between 1980 and 1989 in the area covered by the South Thames Regional Health Authority. Furthermore, the impact of stage of disease at diagnosis on this association was studied.

## Abstract Obesity is a wellโknown risk factor for postmenopausal breast cancer. In contrast, the relationship between obesity and stage of breast cancer at diagnosis is less clear. We hypothesized that increased breast size in obese women may delay discovery of breast tumors. Thus, the purpose of
The intent of the current study was to ascertain whether differences in cancer survival between Montana non-American Indians (non-AI) and Montana American Indians (AI) were related to differences in stage of disease at diagnosis or in the type of treatment received. ## METHODS. A case-control des
