The role of a high autopsy frequency in the registration of cancer cases in a population was studied in the region of southern Sweden, in particular in Malmö. Due to a declining autopsy frequency the number of incidentally found cancer cases at autopsy has diminished greatly during the past 10 years. The value of the reports from cancer registries regarding the total number of tumours in a population is thus doubtful. In order to follow the real frequency of tumours, centres ought to be established where a high autopsy frequency can be achieved.
在瑞典南部地区，特别是马尔默，研究了高尸检频率在人群癌症病例登记中的作用。由于尸检频率下降，在过去10年中，尸检时偶然发现的癌症病例数量大幅减少。因此，癌症登记处关于人群中肿瘤总数的报告价值存疑。为了跟踪肿瘤的实际发生率，应该建立能够实现高尸检频率的中心。
