Geographic patterns and trends of liver, biliary tract and pancreas cancer mortality in Slovakia.

The age-adjusted mortality rates and trends of primary liver cancer in Slovakia showed during the investigated decade 1968-1977 small reduction in males, accompanied with statistically significant decline in females. The slightly increasing trends of mortality from the cancer of gallbladder and extrahepatic bile ducts were not significant while the growing rates and upward trends of mortality from pancreatic malignant neoplasms were statistically significant for both sexes. Geographic distribution of standardized mortality rates from these cancer sites displayed various differences within the districts of Slovakia during the whole investigated period. The need for further descriptive and analytical studies of these less common cancer sites of the alimentary system using more detailed and classified data on incidence and mortality is stressed.

Prediction of cancer incidence in Cracow and Bratislava.

Projections for the incidence of all and selected major sites of cancer in the cities of Cracow and Bratislava were constructed for each year of the period 1978-1982 on the basis of data observed in the years 1968-1977. More or less increasing of unchanging trends were predicted for the malignant neoplasms of bladder, larynx and lung in males and of breast and ovaries together with decreasing trends of uterine cervix in females in the both cities. The trends predicted for the cancer of stomach in both sexes, of prostate and uterine corpus as well as of all sites in males showed different orientations in the compared cities. The factors connected with and usefulness of the adequate predictions of cancer incidence are discussed.

Trends in cancer mortality in Czechoslovakia 1949-1978.

The analysis of the trends of the principal causes of deaths in Czechoslovakia indicated leading second position of malignant neoplasms in the whole mortality over the period 1949 through 1978. The rapidly growing all sites cancer mortality trends in males together with their unimportant changes in females resulted in the steadily increasing overmortality of males. Among digestive organs important decrease of stomach and in lesser extent also of oesophageal cancers with simultaneously increasing mortality trends of malignant neoplasms of colon, pancreas and rectum in both sexes were observed. The trends in the cancer mortality of respiratory organs as well as the increasing rates of the whole male cancer mortality were strongly influenced with dramatical increase of lung cancers while these of larynx showed slow increase in males and decrease in females. The rapidly growing mortality trends showed also breast cancer, reaching at the end of the investigated period the first position in the whole female cancer mortality, while the increasing mortality from the malignant neoplasms of the different genital and urinary organs of females were less or more expressed. The relatively high average annual increase was characteristic for the mortality trends of the malignant neoplasms of bladder and other urinary organs and of prostate gland and testis in males. Among other sites the increasing mortality trends from malignant neoplasms of brain and leukemias were of interest.
