The Madras Metropolitan Tumour Registry (MMTR) was established at the Cancer Institute (WIA), Madras, in 1981-1982. Cancer is not a notifiable disease in India, and hence registration per force has to be active. The MMTR covers a population of 3.8 million. Mortality statistics are obtained from the Department of Vital Statistics, death registers in hospitals and by active follow-up of registered cases. A total of 28,980 (13,012 males, 15,968 females) cases were registered during 1982-1991. The average annual world-standardised age-adjusted rates (AAR) per 100,000 are 104.2 in males and 129.0 in females. The lifetime cumulative risk (0-74 years) of cancer in Madras is one in eight. Stomach (AAR:15.2) is the leading site of malignancy among males, followed by cancers of the lung (AAR:9.8) and oral cavity (AAR:9.4). Among females, cancer of the cervix (AAR:44.0) is the commonest, followed by breast (AAR:21.7) and oral cavity cancers (AAR:9.8).
马德拉斯大都市肿瘤登记处（MMTR）于1981 - 1982年在马德拉斯癌症研究所（WIA）成立。在印度，癌症并非法定报告疾病，因此必须积极进行登记。MMTR覆盖人口达380万。死亡率统计数据来自生命统计部门、医院死亡登记以及对登记病例的主动随访。1982年至1991年期间，共登记了28980例（男性13012例，女性15968例）。每10万人中男性的年均世界标准化年龄调整率（AAR）为104.2，女性为129.0。马德拉斯地区0至74岁人群患癌的终生累积风险为八分之一。在男性中，胃癌（AAR：15.2）是最主要的恶性肿瘤发病部位，其次是肺癌（AAR：9.8）和口腔癌（AAR：9.4）。在女性中，宫颈癌（AAR：44.0）最为常见，其次是乳腺癌（AAR：21.7）和口腔癌（AAR：9.8）。
