Cancer of the breast and female genital organs represents 40% of the tumors found in women. Registers of cancer on a population base constitutes a basic source of information for measuring the incidence of these tumors in the population.
The magnitude of cancer of the breast and female genital organs was analyzed in the province of Zaragoza during the period 1975-1984 according to the different geographic areas in the province. The rate of incidence, accumulated incidence and the rate of incidence adjusted by age were calculated. The source of information used was the Register of Cancer of Zaragoza.
The rate of incidence observed for these tumors was found to be 84 per 100,000 women/year with breast cancer representing 58% of the cases. The truncated rates were higher than the rates of incidence except for the localization of other genital organs indicating a greater frequency of these tumors at intermediate ages. In Zaragoza, the capital city, an excess of incidence was found for most of the localizations studied. This may be explained by the existence of greater frequency of these tumors in urban areas. In the capital this excess was not observed for unspecified cancer of the uterus. This may be due to the greater precision of diagnosis in the capital than in the rest of the province because of the availability of health care centers.
In the province of Zaragoza, cancer of the breast is most frequent than cancer of any of the other female genital organs. The greatest frequency of these neoplasms was found at an intermediate age. In Zaragoza city, a greater frequency of cancer was registered than in the rest of the province. These results are of interest for the proposal of programs for prevention and control.
乳腺癌和女性生殖器官癌占女性所患肿瘤的40%。基于人群的癌症登记是衡量这些肿瘤在人群中发病率的基本信息来源。
根据萨拉戈萨省不同地理区域，分析了1975年至1984年期间该省乳腺癌和女性生殖器官癌的发病情况。计算了发病率、累积发病率和年龄调整发病率。所使用的信息来源是萨拉戈萨癌症登记处。
这些肿瘤的观察发病率为每10万名女性每年84例，其中乳腺癌占病例的58%。除其他生殖器官部位外，截短发病率高于发病率，这表明这些肿瘤在中年时期更为常见。在省会萨拉戈萨，大多数研究部位的发病率都过高。这可能是由于城市地区这些肿瘤的发病率更高。在省会，未指明部位的子宫癌未观察到这种过高发病率。这可能是由于省会有更多的医疗保健中心，诊断比该省其他地区更为精确。
在萨拉戈萨省，乳腺癌比其他任何女性生殖器官癌更为常见。这些肿瘤在中年时期最为常见。在萨拉戈萨市，登记的癌症发病率高于该省其他地区。这些结果对于提出预防和控制方案具有重要意义。
