Study of the total mortality evolution of the population in Czechoslovakia indicated the steadily increasing and recently 20% participation of the malignant neoplasms and their leading, second position among main causes of deaths. The crude cancer mortality rates of all sites showed in the period 1946--1975 substantial increase more expressed in males, while the pattern of age-adjusted mortality rates of men were lower and in the women remained quite stable during the whole evaluated period. Cancer mortality in this period was characterized also with increasing overmortality of men. Analysis of age-specific death rates revealed not only higher mortality of males but also the shifting of the peaks to older age groups in both sexes. The malignant neoplasms of lung, stomach, prostate and rectum in men and the tumors of breast, stomach, colon, rectum and of genital organs in women were the most important individual sites. Finally, the actual cancer mortality rates of all sites in Czechoslovakia were compared with those of some European countries.
对捷克斯洛伐克人口总死亡率演变的研究表明，恶性肿瘤的参与率稳步上升，最近在主要死因中占比达20%，且位居前列。1946年至1975年期间，所有部位的癌症粗死亡率大幅上升，男性表现更为明显，而在此整个评估期间，男性年龄调整死亡率较低，女性则保持相当稳定。这一时期的癌症死亡率还表现为男性超额死亡率上升。对年龄别死亡率的分析表明，不仅男性死亡率更高，而且两性的死亡高峰都向老年群体转移。男性的肺癌、胃癌、前列腺癌和直肠癌以及女性的乳腺癌、胃癌、结肠癌、直肠癌和生殖器官肿瘤是最重要的个别部位。最后，将捷克斯洛伐克所有部位的实际癌症死亡率与一些欧洲国家的进行了比较。
