The Research Group for Population-based Cancer Registration in Japan has
been conducting a cooperative study to estimate cancer incidence in Japan
since 1975. Estimated incidence data calculated annually were accumulated
in 1996 for 18 years. The Group has separately provided another
re-calculated incidence estimate series which were prepared for 1975-79,
1980-84 and 1985-89. The former two results, each of five years were
previously published elsewhere. These recalculated estimate series made
more reliable observations of time trends in incidence feasible by using
the same eligible registries' data throughout each 5-year period. This
report presents results of the latter 5 years between 1985 and 1989;
age-specific, crude and age-standardized incidence rates, as well as the
number of incidence according to site and gender, under the cooperation of
eight eligible population-based cancer registries in Japan: Miyagi,
Yamagata, Kanagawa, Fukui, Osaka, Tottori, Hiroshima City and Nagasaki
City. Incidence in Japan was estimated at 187,200 and 150,700 for all
cancer sites among males and among females, respectively, in 1985 and
216,700 and 166,900, respectively, in 1989. The leading site was the
stomach among both males and females from 1985 to 1989. Among males the
second leading site was the lung, followed by the liver, colon and rectum.
Among females, it was the breast, followed by the colon, uterus and lung in
1989. The proportion of the cases registered by a death certificate only
for all sites was 14.0-15.7 and 13.7-15.3% and the ratio of incidence to
mortality was 1.69-1.73 and 1.95-2.01 among males and females,
respectively, during the period.
