Flow of Cancer Statistics

The analysis of statistical data about cancer occurence is an essential task in epidemiology. It is important to identify risk factors in the early stage of occurrence. The challenge is that every cancer occurence must be analysed under different perspectives.

Through this multidimensional view the visualization of cancer statistics must cover these properties simultaneously.
