The most recent cancer mortality and morbidity data available for France are presented. In 1999, cancers are the first cause of death among men (87,000 deaths) and the second most common among women (57,000 deaths) after cardiovascular diseases. Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death (21,000) in the male population, and breast cancer is the most common cause of death (11 000) in the female population. Cancer mortality rates decrease both in the male population since 1987 and in the female population since 1950, but the different sites present different trends. The total number of cancers diagnosed in 2000 is estimated to be equal to 280,000, 160,000 in the male population and 120,000 in the female population. The most frequent cancer sites are prostate among men (40,000 cases) and breast among women (42,000 cases), two sites for which screening activities are in widespread use. The tobacco-related lung cancer epidemic is accelerating markedly in the female population and is beginning to decrease in the male population.
本文展示了法国最新的癌症死亡率和发病率数据。1999年，癌症是男性死亡的首要原因（87000例死亡），在女性中是仅次于心血管疾病的第二大常见死因（57000例死亡）。肺癌是男性人群中最常见的癌症死因（21000例），乳腺癌是女性人群中最常见的死因（11000例）。自1987年起男性人群以及自1950年起女性人群的癌症死亡率均呈下降趋势，但不同部位呈现出不同的趋势。2000年诊断出的癌症总数估计为280000例，其中男性为160000例，女性为120000例。男性中最常见的癌症部位是前列腺（40000例），女性中是乳腺（42000例），这两个部位的筛查活动被广泛应用。与烟草相关的肺癌流行在女性人群中显著加速，在男性人群中开始下降。
