Oesophageal Cancer Studies in the Caspian Littoral of Iran: The Caspian Cancer Registry
Open accessAbstract
The results of the first 3 years of cancer registration on the Caspian Littoral are described. The main finding, confirming previous reports, is a very large variation within the region of the incidence of oesophageal cancer. Possible sources of bias are considered and shown to contribute little to the pattern of incidence. Among women there is a thirty-fold variation in the incidence across the regions; among men a ten-fold variation. In the north-east of the region the tumour is at least as common in women as in men, and is more common than almost any tumour anywhere in the world. Among other tumours, stomach cancer has a strikingly uniform incidence by comparison; breast cancer shows an incidence gradient of opposite slope.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
