Comparison of Time Trends in Lip Cancer Incidence (1973-97) in East Asia, Europe and USA, from Cancer Incidence in Five Continents, Vols IV-VIII

摘要

Time trends of age-standardized rate (ASR.) of lip cancer incidence (ICD-10: COO) were compared among 18 selected cancer registries and ethnic/racial groups in East Asia, Europe and USA. The data source was the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents, Vols IV-VIII (years at diagnosis 1973-77, 1978-82, 1983-87, 1988-92 and 1993-97, respectively). World population was used for age standardization.
