Abstract
Time trends of age-standardized rate (ASR) of cancer incidence (ICD-10: C00–C96) were compared among 13 selected cancer registries and ethnic/racial groups in Asia. Data source was the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents Vols IV–IX (year at diagnosis 1973–77, 1978–82, 1983–87, 1988–92, 1993–97 and 1998–2002, respectively). World population was used for age-standardization. Asia was divided following three areas, Eastern Asia, South-Eastern Asia and South-Central and Western Asia. China and Japan were in Eastern Asia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand were in South-Eastern Asia and India, Israel and Kuwait were in South-Central and Western Asia.Keywords
