Time trends of age-standardized rate (ASR) of pancreatic cancer incidence (ICD-10: C25) were compared among 18 selected cancer registries and ethnic/racial groups in East Asia, Europe and USA. Data source was the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents Vol. IV–VIII (years at diagnosis: 1973–77, 78–82, 83–87, 88–92 and 93–97, respectively). World population was used for age–standardization.
