Abstract

A comparison of frequency of multiple primary malignant neoplasms between two countries with different cultures, habits and life style may be important to find the causative factor for such multiplicity. The frequency of the single cancer has been well known to be different in the Americans and Japanese (21). Table 1 shows the latest available data acquired from limited areas. The incidence rates for gastric cancer, hepatic cancer and esophageal cancer are high in Japanese, while the incidence rates for cancers of the lung, breast, corpus uteri and colorectal region are high in Americans.
