Abstract
Time trends of age-standardized rate (ASR) of cancer incidence (ICD-10: C00-C96) were compared among 18 selected cancer registries and ethnic/racial groups in Asia, Europe, and USA. Background information of selected cancer registries was shown in Table 1. Data source was the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents Vol. IV–VIII (year at diagnosis: 1973–77, 78–82, 83–87, 88–92, and 93–97, respectively). World population was used for age-standardization.
