cancer incidence, incidence estimates, cancer registry, Japan

The Japan Cancer Surveillance Research Group estimated the cancer incidence in Japan in 2000 on the basis of data collected from 11 population-based cancer registries: Miyagi, Yamagata, Chiba (model area), Kanagawa, Niigata, Fukui, Shiga, Osaka, Okayama, Saga and Nagasaki. The methods of estimation and their limitations have been explained in previous papers (1–3). Our research group succeeded the Research Group for Population-based Cancer Registration in Japan that has estimated the cancer incidence from 1975 to 1999. The number of incidences, crude rates, age-standardized rates and completeness of registration in 2000 are shown in Table 1, and the age-specific number of incidences and the rates according to sex and primary site are shown in Tables 2 and 3. The total number of incidence in Japan for 2000 was estimated as 538 000. The time trends of age-standardized incidence rates for the major sites in 1975–2000 are shown in Fig. 1 (standard population: the world population) and in Fig. 2 (standard population: the 1985 Japanese model population). The leading site according to the age-standardized incidence rates was stomach for males and breast for females, as shown in Figs 1 and 2.

The estimated cancer incidence data in Japan by sex, site, 5-year age group and calendar year during the period of 1975–2000 are available on a website (http://ncrp.ncc.go.jp/) or by correspondence with the principal investigator of the research group (T. S.).

The survey on cancer incidence in Japan was conducted with the contribution from the 15 registries: Miyagi (D. Shibuya), Yamagata (A. Shibata), Chiba (H. Mikami), Kanagawa (N. Okamoto), Niigata (K. Ogoshi), Fukui (M. Fujita), Aichi (H. Ito), Shiga (K. Mizuta), Osaka (A. Oshima), Tottori (T. Kishimoto), Okayama (H. Kasai), Saga (K. Kosa), Nagasaki (M. Soda), Kumamoto (A. Higashi) and Okinawa (K. Nakahodo). The study was supported by the 3rd-term Comprehensive10-year Strategy for Cancer Control.
