The number of cancer incidences, crude incidence rates, age-standardized incidence rates in 2002 in Japan are estimated. The estimated total number of incidences was 570 598.
Key Words: cancer incidence • incidence estimates • cancer registry • Japan
The Japan Cancer Surveillance Research Group estimated the number of cancer incidences in Japan in 2002 as a part of Monitoring of Cancer Incidence in Japan (MCIJ) on the basis of data collected from 11 population-based cancer registries: Miyagi, Yamagata, Kanagawa, Niigata, Fukui, Shiga, Osaka, Tottori, Okayama, Saga and Nagasaki. The methods of estimation and their limitations have been explained previously (1–3). The number of incidences, crude rates, age-standardized rates and completeness of registration in 2002 are shown in Table 1, and the number of incidences based on age and the rates according to sex and primary site are shown in Tables 2 and 3. The estimated total number of incidences in Japan for 2002 was 570 598. The time trends of age-standardized incidence rates for five major sites and male- and female-specific sites in 1975–2002 are shown in Figs 1 and 2. The leading site according to the crude and age-standardized incidence rates was stomach for males and breast for females, as shown in Figs 1 and 2. The estimated cancer incidence data in Japan by sex, site, five-year age group and calendar year during the period of 1975–2002 are available on the website: http://www.ganjoho.ncc.go.jp/pro/statistics/en/table_download.html.
