Childhood Cancer Risks in Switzerland

Caption

Maps showing estimated childhood cancer risk in Switzerland for the period 1985-2015. The color scale indicates how much higher (or lower) the cancer risk was compared to the national average, e.g. 1.2 indicates a higher risk by 20%. The adjusted models (on the right) show the variation that remains after accounting for several factors such as degree of urbanization (urban, rural, intermediate), socioeconomic position, language region, traffic-related air pollution and natural background radiation.
