Cancer statistics

Hi,

I've taken a brief look at the cancer statistics since 1974 from the Office of National Statistics. The incidence of cancer doesn't seem to be increasing particularly until you get into the older sections of the population. Presumably background EMF has been going up over this period?

Is there an 'anti-EMF' interpretation of these statistics?

Regards,

Tom

Ah! The devil's in the detail.... "The greatest increase in incidence [of leukaemia] from 1971 to 1994 was in the children aged under 1, with a doubling of the rate." But still it's reassuring isn't it that in general the rate isn't really increasing and that mortality is, in general going down?
