Potential value of the records of National Health Insurance programs for study on cancer morbidity was investigated by examination of those preserved in two towns in Japan. By using such records, population at risk and incidence of cancer can be readily and precisely determined. Deaths with load of cancer and survival rate of cancer were also determined without difficulty. In spite of a few limitations involved in the use of records, they are considered to be highly valuable for study on cancer morbidity and survival, mainly due to absence of under-reporting and to the feasibility of obtaining medical and other informations pertaining to cancer patients throughout the specific period.
通过对日本两个城镇保存的国民健康保险计划记录进行检查，研究了这些记录在癌症发病率研究中的潜在价值。利用这些记录，可以轻松且精确地确定癌症的风险人群和发病率。癌症负荷导致的死亡以及癌症生存率也能毫无困难地确定。尽管使用这些记录存在一些局限性，但它们被认为对癌症发病率和生存率的研究具有很高的价值，主要是因为不存在漏报情况，并且在特定时期内能够获取与癌症患者相关的医疗和其他信息。
