| Summary, etc. |
Presents a detailed analysis of cancer incidence and its geographic variations in Metropolitan Manila and the adjoining province of Rizal in the Republic of the Philippines. Data on cancer incidence derive from two population-based cancer registries, together serving a population of 6.3 million, and cover the three-year period 1980-1982. Following a description of the design and main findings of the study, the book uses tables and maps to present incidence rates for the major cancer sites by age, by sex, and for geographic subdivisions of the registration area. To facilitate interpretation, rates are compared with those from selected registries in Asia, Europe, and the United States of America. Findings reveal that the most frequent cancers in men were in the lung, liver, prostate, stomach, and colon. In women, cancers of the breast, cervix, and lung were the most common, followed by cancers of the ovary, stomach, liver, thyroid, and oral cavity. When the two sexes were considered together, cancers of the lung, breast, and liver emerged as the most important. The study also revealed a number of geographical variations in cancer incidence that should provide a useful foundation for research into the environmental determinants of cancer. Findings from the study should also serve to encourage further analytical and laboratory investigations on the relationships between cancer risks and lifestyles, and on endogenous host factors. |
