See related Research articles: http://breast-cancer-research.com/content/4/6/R13; http://breast-cancer-research.com/content/5/4/R88 AbstractTwo articles previously published in Breast Cancer Research illustrate the high rates of breast cancer in Marin County, a wealthy, urban county immediately northwest of the city of San Francisco. I herein comment on these articles, and on the political/psychological/scientific dilemma presented by regions with high cancer rates, such as Marin County. I discuss possible causes for such cancer 'clusters', and conclude with some thoughts about the future. |
