Abstract
Attention is focused on some problems related to research in geography and cancer: availability and reliability of data, difficulty of explaining distribution patterns due essentially to interaction of risk factors and differences in local situations. Two examples illustrate multiplicity of causes: malignant neoplasm of oesophagus and of bowel. Finally the complexity of the urban environment is stressed.
