In the rural areas of developing countries, modern medical facilities are well below optimum levels and death registration is not mandatory. In India, as a result of such a situation, very few studies have been undertaken on the incidence of cancer in the rural population, though 80% of the people live in villages. The paper presents cancer incidence rates observed in a rural area of India by means of a method involving the use of paramedical personnel for initial screening, to minimize the cost. A statistical evaluation of the results shows that the method can be used for registering common sites of cancer in an area where conventional cancer registration methods are not applicable.
在发展中国家的农村地区，现代医疗设施远低于最佳水平，死亡登记也不是强制性的。在印度，由于这种情况，尽管80%的人口生活在农村，但针对农村人口癌症发病率的研究却很少。本文介绍了在印度农村地区观察到的癌症发病率，采用了一种利用辅助医务人员进行初步筛查的方法，以尽量降低成本。对结果的统计评估表明，在传统癌症登记方法不适用的地区，该方法可用于登记常见癌症部位。
