A total of 4,995 cervical and 311 penile cancer cases were registered in the Madras Population-Based Cancer Registry at the Cancer Institute (WIA), Madras, India, in 1982-1990. The parameters analyzed were age at the time of diagnosis, educational level, marital status, and religion. Peak incidence of carcinoma of the cervix was seen in the age group 55-59 years. The incidence of penile cancer increased consistently with age. Among cervical cancer patients, the incidence was significantly higher among illiterates and among those who had an education for 12 years or less than among those with over 12 years of education. The incidence of cervical cancer was low among Muslim women compared to Hindu and Christian women, and penile cancer was not seen at all among Muslim men. Our results re-emphasize the importance of circumcision in the reduction of the risk of both cervical and penile cancers.
1982年至1990年期间，印度马德拉斯癌症研究所（WIA）基于人群的马德拉斯癌症登记处共登记了4995例宫颈癌病例和311例阴茎癌病例。分析的参数包括诊断时的年龄、教育水平、婚姻状况和宗教信仰。宫颈癌的发病高峰出现在55 - 59岁年龄组。阴茎癌的发病率随年龄持续上升。在宫颈癌患者中，文盲以及接受12年或以下教育的人群的发病率明显高于接受12年以上教育的人群。与印度教和基督教女性相比，穆斯林女性宫颈癌的发病率较低，而穆斯林男性中根本未发现阴茎癌。我们的结果再次强调了包皮环切术在降低宫颈癌和阴茎癌风险方面的重要性。
