Incidence of eye cancer in persons 15 years of age and over in England and Wales was studied as a surrogate for eye melanoma data. Age-standardized registration rates for cancer of the eye in adults increased by half in both males and females from 1962 to 1977. This probably reflects a real increase in incidence of eye melanoma. There was a gradient of increasing incidence with decreasingly urban place of residence, but there was no gradient of incidence with latitude. In both sexes, incidence was highest in the Birmingham region. Proportional registration ratios were generally higher for nonmanual than for manual social classes and notably high for electrical and electronics workers.
对英格兰和威尔士15岁及以上人群的眼癌发病率进行了研究，以此作为眼黑色素瘤数据的替代指标。从1962年到1977年，成人眼癌的年龄标准化登记率在男性和女性中均提高了一半。这可能反映了眼黑色素瘤发病率的实际上升。发病率随居住城市程度降低而呈上升梯度，但与纬度不存在发病率梯度。在两性中，伯明翰地区的发病率最高。非体力劳动者的比例登记率总体上高于体力劳动者，电气和电子行业工人的比例登记率尤其高。
