Yes. But I'd assume Europe would have at least equal diagnoses capability. So number of diagnoses should be similar.

So is US that much worse than Europe? Then we could start trying to pick apart differences, like diet, walking.

What’s interesting is that Poland appears to stand out in Europe

[littlestymaar]

And it's unlikely to be due to better diagnosis than Switzerland…

One factor that Poland shares with the US is their enthusiasm for fracking. Could of course just be a coincidence.

Food? Polish Sausage. Maybe both big Sausage eaters. But then I'd think Germany would be similar?

[coffeebeqn]

Germany, Finland, probably a few others that eat a lot of sausage.

even Canada is half as much as USA but as it is still high compared to other so is dark blue

After listening to stories from my Canadian friends about how hard it is to just get basic medicine like antibiotics I'd expect this to be caused by a lack of screening/diagnosis rather than actual differences in cancer rates.

Do they live somewhere that requires a float plane to reach a doctor? I've never heard of a fellow Canadian having a hard time getting antibiotics, what a bizarre anecdote.

[katzinsky]

Nope, just Northern Ontario. I've driven to their houses from the US.
