A series of 458 cases of carcinoma of the penis occurring in Ugandan Africans is analysed. These were derived from the records of a country-wide biopsy service over the 5-year period 1964-68.Where circumcision is practised the incidence of this tumour is very low.However, the geographical variation also showed marked differences in the uncircumcised, regardless of tribal antecedents and sometimes over quite small distances.It is suggested, therefore, that in Uganda other aetiological factors apart from circumcision are operative and that these factors vary with geographical location rather than with tribal affiliation.
对乌干达非洲人发生的458例阴茎癌病例进行了分析。这些病例来自1964年至1968年这5年期间全国活检服务的记录。在实行包皮环切术的地方，这种肿瘤的发病率非常低。然而，地理差异也表明，在未行包皮环切术的人群中存在显著差异，无论其部落背景如何，有时甚至在很小的距离范围内也是如此。因此，有人认为，在乌干达，除了包皮环切术之外，还有其他病因因素在起作用，而且这些因素随地理位置而变化，而非随部落归属而变化。
