The author indicates briefly the results from the statistical and epidemiological studies of cancer in Spain. Between 1903 and 1978 cancer mortality passed from 39.00 per 100.000 to 152.4 per 100.000, and sex distribution from 43% men and 56% women to 57% men and 42% women. Cancer represented 1.52% of the total mortality in 1903 and 18.95% in 1978. The largest incidence of cancer diseases is observed for ages between 45 and 75 years in men, with a maximum at 60, and between 40 and 71 years in women, with a maximum at 55. In all Spanish regions the most frequent mortal localizations are lung cancer among men and mammary cancer among women. The second place corresponds to stomach cancer in both sexes. Other important causes of death are the tumors of the prostate, liver, urinary bladder, larynx, colon and rectum, hematopoietic system, and esophagus in man, and the neoplasms of liver, lung, body of the uterus, colon and rectum, hematopoietic system and gallbladder and bile ducts in women. It is surprising the high frequency of primitive liver cancer in some regions, reaching an incidence of 4.39% in Tarragona and 6.07% in Zaragoza.
作者简要介绍了西班牙癌症的统计和流行病学研究结果。1903年至1978年间，癌症死亡率从每10万人39.00例升至每10万人152.4例，性别分布从男性占43%、女性占56%变为男性占57%、女性占42%。癌症在1903年占总死亡率的1.52%，1978年占18.95%。男性癌症发病率最高的年龄段为45至75岁，60岁时达到峰值；女性为40至71岁，55岁时达到峰值。在西班牙所有地区，男性最常见的致死部位是肺癌，女性是乳腺癌。其次是男女两性的胃癌。其他重要死因在男性中是前列腺癌、肝癌、膀胱癌、喉癌、结肠癌和直肠癌、造血系统肿瘤以及食管癌，在女性中是肝癌、肺癌、子宫体癌、结肠癌和直肠癌、造血系统肿瘤以及胆囊和胆管肿瘤。令人惊讶的是，某些地区原发性肝癌的发病率很高，在塔拉戈纳达到4.39%，在萨拉戈萨达到6.07%。
