The main aim of the study is to present the history and the state of research in Polish medical geography. Its origins are the same as in world geography, i.e. it is associated with non-geographers. However, it was developing very slowly till the mid-1980s. Since then a slow increase in the number of publications has been noted (with a noticeable predominance of studies in disease geography over health geography). But still, it must be emphasised that medical geography in Poland is poorly developed.

Coping with the prevention, diagnosis and therapy of cancers is a challenging medical task with continuing consequences for the development of population health status and economy of health in each country. The occurrence of cancers shows an upward trend in the world. A comprehensive fight against cancers should involve the spatial aspect which is best applied in the field of medical geography. The key indicators for the surveillance of cancers include mortality and incidence, but also prevalence. Incidence plays a more and more important role in the period of an increase in cancers. In the investigation of this issue specific analytical methods were used, such as spatial autocorrelation. Standardized cancer incidence in Slovakia was analyzed in the case of men and women. The years 1997, 2009 and the period 1997–2009 were chosen to compare the incidence. The results of partial analyses show the situation in districts of Slovakia from the perspective of incidence development and its spatial differentiation.

Celem badań była analiza różnic pomiędzy cechami statystycznymi zbiorów wyników badań laboratoryjnych pochodzących z 23 różnych regionów Polski. Analizowano roczne zbiory wyników białka całkowitego, hemoglobiny, cholesterolu i glukozy. Zastosowano oryginalną metodę komputerową JEG opracowaną w IBIB PAN. Różnice wartości średnich sięgały od –2,81 do +2,01 odchyleń standardowych od wartości uśrednionej. Znacznie różniły się profile zmienności sezonowej oraz zależności wyników od płci i wieku. W kompleksowej ocenie regionalnej wyróżniał się dodatnio region północno-zachodni, zaskakująco słabo wypadła Wielkopolska, nie najlepiej Górny Śląsk i region północno-wschodni, dramatycznie zaś Małopolska. Wykazano przydatność zastosowanej metody, a jednocześnie celowość dalszych badań.

The work described here has sought to investigate differences between the statistical features of large (annual) datasets of laboratory results from 23 regions of Poland. Collections of results for total protein, haemoglobin, cholesterol and glucose levels were analyzed. An original computer method called JEG, devised at the Institute of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences was used. Differences in mean values ranged from –2.81 to 2.01 standard deviations from the mean value for all results. The dependence of results on the sex and age classes differed greatly in the two extreme regions. In the comprehensive valuation of regions, the north-west region stood out in a positive sense, while the Wielkopolska region fared surprisingly poorly, and Upper Silesia and the north-east were also far from ideal. This situation in the Malopolska region looked extremely serious. The usefulness of the method was demonstrated by the research carried out, so it would seem advisable for the investigation to be continued with, in order that the picture for the country as a whole might be made complete.

The paper analyzes the spatial and temporal change in the raw incidence rate of malignant neoplasms of the central nervous system (including the meninges), determines the nature and strength of the incidence trends, and identifies areas of unfavorable and favorable situation. An unfavorable situation in terms of raw incidence rate of the analyzed malignant neoplasms was observed in the subregion of the town of Poznań, the Kalisz subregion and the Piła poviat. In the Wielkopolska voivodship, statistically significant upward trends in incidence were recorded for “malignant neoplasm of meninges (C70)*” and “malignant neoplasm of brain (C71)*”. The only statis- tically significant downward trend in incidence occurred in the Piła subregion and concerned “malignant neoplasm of spinal cord, cranial nerves and other parts of central nervous system (C72)*”. *English names of the malignant neoplasms which are in the ICD-10 have been taken from: https:// icd.who.int/browse10/2010/en#/C69-C72 (accessed: 10.09.2021).

W pracy dokonano analizy przestrzennej i czasowej zmiany współczynnika surowego zachorowalności na nowotwory złośliwe ośrodkowego układu nerwowego (z uwzględnieniem opon mózgowo-rdzeniowych), określono charakter i siłę trendów zachorowalności oraz wskazano obszary o niekorzystnej i korzystnej sytuacji. Niekorzystna sytuacja w zakresie zachorowalności surowej na analizowane nowotwory występowała w podregionie miasto Poznań, podregionie kaliskim oraz w powiecie pilskim. W województwie wielkopolskim istotne statystycznie trendy wzrostowe zachorowalności odnotowano dla „nowotworu złośliwego opon mózgowo-rdzeniowych (C70)” oraz „nowotworu złośliwego mózgu (C71)”. Jedyny istotny statystycznie trend spadkowy zachorowalności wystąpił w podregionie pilskim i dotyczył „nowotworu złośliwego rdzenia kręgowego, nerwów czaszkowych i innych części ośrodkowego układu nerwowego (C72)”.
