All records of primary liver cancer reported to the tumor registry of the Province of Québec from 1969 to 1972 were collected and were classified according to sex, age and place of residence. Men had higher incidence of primary liver cancer and the disease developed at an earlier age in men than it did in women. There was a noticeable difference in the number of cases in rural and urban areas, and a significant difference in the incidence in the 10 districts of the province. Cases in urban areas were clustered in a few industrialized cities. Our findings are in agreement with previous reports that show a relationship between primary cancer of the liver and the presence of chemicals in the environment.
收集了1969年至1972年向魁北克省肿瘤登记处报告的所有原发性肝癌记录,并根据性别、年龄和居住地进行了分类。男性原发性肝癌的发病率较高,且该疾病在男性中发病年龄比女性更早。农村和城市地区的病例数存在显著差异,该省10个地区的发病率也存在显著差异。城市地区的病例集中在少数工业化城市。我们的研究结果与之前的报告一致,这些报告表明原发性肝癌与环境中化学物质的存在之间存在关联。
