    Summary

    Cancer incidence generally increased from 1960-69, with notable rises in lung and breast cancer. Stomach cancer incidence, however, shows a decline, offering a hopeful trend in cancer research.

    Area of Science:

    • Epidemiology
    • Oncology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Observed a general increase in cancer incidence across major sites during 1960-1969.
    • This trend persisted even after accounting for population age structure changes.
    • Diagnostic improvements may contribute but are unlikely to be the sole cause.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify specific cancer sites driving the overall incidence increase.
    • To analyze trends in lung cancer incidence among males and females.
    • To investigate notable increases in female breast and prostate cancer incidence.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of cancer incidence data from 1960-1969.
    • Age-adjusted statistical comparisons.
    • Comparative analysis of regional cancer registry data (Alameda County vs. Connecticut Tumour Registry).

    Main Results:

    • Significant increases observed in lung cancer for both sexes, with a faster rise in females.
    • Notable increase in female breast cancer incidence.
    • Discrepancies in prostate cancer incidence trends between racial groups and geographic regions noted.

    Conclusions:

    • Lung cancer trends in females are converging with those in males, likely linked to smoking patterns.
    • The rise in female breast cancer warrants further investigation.
    • Prostate cancer incidence patterns require deeper study, particularly regarding racial and regional variations.
