The numbers of new cancer cases in 16 common sites occurring in 1980 have been estimated for 24 areas of the world for which the United Nations produces population estimates. For the world as a whole, the total number of new cases was 6.35 million, almost exactly evenly divided between the developed and developing countries. In males, the most important sites were lung, stomach, colon/rectum, mouth/pharynx, prostate and oesophagus, and in females breast, cervix, colon/rectum, stomach, corpus uteri and lung. When the two sexes are combined, stomach cancer emerges as the most common cancer in 1980 (669,400 new cases per year), but this estimate is only slightly greater than that of lung cancer (660,500 new cases), and comparisons with earlier estimates for 1975 suggest that, with declining incidence rates for stomach cancer and the continuing rise for lung cancer, the latter would become the most common cancer in the world by the end of 1981. The implications for cancer control in the developed and developing countries of the world are discussed.
针对联合国提供人口估计数据的世界24个地区，估算了1980年16个常见部位的新发癌症病例数。就全球而言，新发病例总数为635万，发达国家和发展中国家几乎平分。男性中，最重要的发病部位是肺、胃、结肠/直肠、口腔/咽部、前列腺和食管；女性中则是乳腺、子宫颈、结肠/直肠、胃、子宫体和肺。若将男女合并计算，胃癌在1980年成为最常见的癌症（每年669,400例新发病例），但该估计仅略高于肺癌（660,500例新发病例），与1975年的早期估计相比表明，随着胃癌发病率下降和肺癌持续上升，到1981年底肺癌将成为世界上最常见的癌症。文中还讨论了这一情况对世界发达国家和发展中国家癌症控制的影响。
