Abstract

The incidence of primary liver cancer was determined in two selected populations in Thailand by direct field investigation. Liver viscerotomy specimens were obtained from 21% of the persons aged 15 yr or more who lived and died in the municipal areas of Ratburi, Potharam, Baan Pong and Nakorn Pathom (combined population 99,537) in south-western Thailand, and from 33% of comparable persons in the municipal areas of Songkhla and Haad Yai (combined population 97,867) in southernmost Thailand. Incidence, as measured in this survey, was six new cases/100,000 people/yr in the first (south-west) area and two new cases/100,000 people/yr in the second (Songkhla-Haad Yai) area. © 1972 Pergamon Press.
