The number of new cancer cases, and the annual incidence rates, of 25 different cancers have been estimated for the year 1990 for every country of the world. The distributions of the most common cancers in men and women are presented for 23 broad 'Areas'. The total number (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) was 8.1 million, just over half of which occur in the developing countries. The most common cancer is lung cancer, which accounts for 18% of cancers of men worldwide. Stomach cancer is second in frequency (almost 10% of all new cancers) and breast cancer--by far the most important cancer of women (21% of the total) is third. There are very large differences in the relative importance of the different cancers by world area; some of the factors, environmental and genetic, underlying the geographic distributions, are discussed.
已估算出1990年世界各国25种不同癌症的新增病例数及年发病率。针对23个广泛的“地区”呈现了男性和女性中最常见癌症的分布情况。总数（不包括非黑色素瘤皮肤癌）为810万，其中略超过一半发生在发展中国家。最常见的癌症是肺癌，占全球男性癌症的18%。胃癌发病率位居第二（几乎占所有新增癌症的10%），乳腺癌——迄今为止女性最重要的癌症（占总数的21%）位居第三。不同癌症在世界各地区的相对重要性存在很大差异；文中讨论了一些造成地理分布差异的环境和遗传因素。
