You seem to be frightened by cancer because in almost all your words, we find this word.

You must not have had cancer in your family or loved ones.

Of course it had to exist before we gave it a name but to say that the chemical filth and pollution have nothing to do with it ... the statistics prove it: cancers on the rise for 30 years despite relative progress to decline the fatal deadline.

and I'm not talking about diagnostic errors: a 50-year-old neighbor died of pancreatic cancer diagnosed very late. He worked in a boot factory, breathing lots of noxious products like he vomited when he got home from work.

When will the diagnosed cancer cards be open to the public?
Confidential medical information ?
what interest ?

I think it was Chirac in 2007 and its "cancer plan" where they "only" started mapping ... shouldn't be surprised either ...

Well here are maps of mysterious diseases in the USA, not in France, but very real:

41 cases of grouped diseases:

and we must have similar "clusters" in France without knowing it, let alone knowing the causes.

Yet very useful for detecting environmental scandals !!
for example the trichlorethylene breathed by children gives them leukemia in great excess.
Also birth defects, etc.

Mr. Navvarro has written about the mess with PCBs in ballasts of lights at schools in NYC, and this is again not localized but goes across the country involving almost every home and office with fluorescent lights built before1980. I have made comments on the posts by Ms. Navarro pointing to the PCBs in water tanks that in many cases may still have the PCB containing sealants with PCBs leaching into the drinking water.
