Assessment of spatial variation in breast cancer-specific mortality using Louisiana SEER data Rachel Carroll, Andrew B. Lawson, Chandra L. Jackson and Shanshan Zhao Social Science & Medicine, 2017, vol. 193, issue C, 1-7 Abstract: Previous studies suggest spatial differences in mortality for many types of cancer, including breast cancer. Identifying explanations for these spatial differences results in a better understanding of what leads to longer survival time.
