The Research Group for Population-based Cancer Registration in Japan estimated cancer incidence in Japan in 1996 based on data from 10 population-based cancer registries: Miyagi, Yamagata, Kanagawa, Niigata, Fukui, Osaka, Tottori, Hiroshima City, Saga and Nagasaki. The methods of estimation and its limitations are explained in previous papers (1–3). The number of incidences, crude rates, age-standardized rates and completeness of registration in 1996 are shown in Table 1 and the age-specific number of incidences and the rates are shown in Tables 2 and 3 according to sex and primary site. The number of incidences for 1996 was estimated as 473 000. The time trends of age-standardized incidence rates for major sites in 1975–96 standardized to the world population are shown in Fig. 1 and those standardized to the 1985 Japanese model population are shown in Fig. 2. The leading site in age-standardized incidence rate was stomach for males and breast for females in both Figs 1 and 2.

Estimated cancer incidence data in Japan by sex, site, five-year age group and calendar year during the period 1975–96 are now available on a Web-site on Homepage of the Month (http://www.iph.pref.osaka.jp/omc/ocr/) or by correspondence with the principal investigator of the Research Group (Dr A. Oshima).

In 2000 the Research Group conducted the 27th survey on cancer incidence and cancer medical care with the cooperation of the Aichi Cancer Center (Dr T. Kuroishi) and contributions from 14 cancer registries: Miyagi (Dr S. Hisamichi), Yamagata (Dr T. Matsuda), Chiba (Dr H. Mikami), Kanagawa (Dr T. Nagaoka), Niigata (Dr K. Ogoshi), Fukui (Dr M. Fujita), Aichi (Dr M. Inoue), Shiga (Dr H. Shio), Osaka (Dr A. Oshima), Hyogo (Dr T. Ishida), Tottori (Dr T. Kishimoto), Hiroshima City (Dr K. Koyama), Saga (Ms A. Maeda) and Nagasaki (Dr M. Soda). The study was supported by a Grant-in-Aid for cancer research (8–2) from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
