After describing the enormous variation in incidence of oesophageal carcinoma in different populations, the authors report data on the incidence of carcinoma of the oesophagus in the province of Trieste, Italy. There is a high incidence in men, this being among the highest in the world, excluding areas with so-called 'endemic' disease. On the other hand, the incidence in women is low, even compared to other European regions. The epidemiological data reveal in particular that, in the province of Trieste, carcinoma of the oesophagus affects predominantly young and middle aged men. This may be related to high alcohol and tobacco consumption.
在描述了不同人群中食管癌发病率的巨大差异后，作者报告了意大利的里雅斯特省食管癌的发病数据。男性发病率很高，在世界范围内属于最高之列，不包括那些有所谓“地方病”的地区。另一方面，女性发病率很低，即使与其他欧洲地区相比也是如此。流行病学数据特别显示，在的里雅斯特省，食管癌主要影响中青年男性。这可能与酒精和烟草的高消费量有关。
