La. male cancer incidence surveyed

A new survey (PDF) released Wednesday by the Louisiana Tumor Registry shows that cancer rates among white and black men are higher than national norms in every parish across the state.

The survey — led by Edward Peters, an assistant professor of epidemiology at LSU — examined cancer cases occurring between 2000 and 2004 and mapped cancer cases by type and parish.

The registry is a part of the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center.
