Epidemiological studies on bovine ocular carcinoma were reviewed. Reports on the frequency and the distribution of the disease indicate that it is still a very prevalent and economically important disease. It is recognized throughout North America, but is more frequent in lower latitudes under range conditions. Etiological factors including ultraviolet light, circumocular apigmentation and viruses, as well as the pathogenesis, are considered in light of current knowledge on carcinogenesis of this tumor. It is likely that the induction of bovine ocular carcinoma is multifactorial and the precise roles played by each of the various factors are not yet understood.
对牛眼癌的流行病学研究进行了综述。关于该疾病的发病率和分布的报告表明，它仍然是一种非常普遍且具有重要经济意义的疾病。在北美各地都有发现，但在低纬度的放牧条件下更为常见。根据目前关于这种肿瘤致癌作用的知识，对包括紫外线、眼周色素沉着和病毒在内的病因因素以及发病机制进行了探讨。牛眼癌的诱发可能是多因素的，各种因素各自所起的确切作用尚不清楚。
