Visualising spatial-temporal variation of cancer incidence

The purpose of this electronic publication is to visualise spatial and temporal variations by mapping the incidence of a number of common cancer forms in Finland over a time span of 56 years. The choice of visualisation parameters is set in order that the animations can be easily visually interpreted by researchers, decision makers and the general public, alike.
