During the period 1967-1985, 95 primary tracheal carcinomas occurred in Finland. The mean annual incidence rate was one per one million inhabitants, the male:female ratio being 7:3. There was a significant increase of the disease by increasing age with the exception of 70-79 years. The most common location was the lower third of the trachea. Over two-thirds of the tumours were squamous carcinomas. Smoking seems to be an important risk factor at least in males.
1967年至1985年期间，芬兰发生了95例原发性气管癌。年平均发病率为每百万居民中有1例，男女比例为7:3。除70 - 79岁年龄段外，该疾病的发病率随年龄增长显著增加。最常见的部位是气管下三分之一处。超过三分之二的肿瘤为鳞状细胞癌。吸烟似乎至少在男性中是一个重要的风险因素。
