Abstract

Prevention is essential to counteract the onset of cancer. The analysis of clinical and environmental data as well as their integration are basic topics to prevent chronic diseases, especially neoplasms, and to identify the correlations between cancer and environmental factors.The proposed contribution aims to acquire, analyze and integrate clinical and geographical data to evaluate their possible correlations. A GIS application is here reported to correlate TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) values with environmental data as case study.
