Incidence = number of new cases per year per 100,000 population, adjusted for standardized population age distribution (so as to eliminate effects due merely to differences of population age distribution). Figures for cancers of breast, uterine cervix, uterus, and ovary are for women; other figures are for men. (Adapted from V.T. DeVita, S. Hellman, and S.A. Rosenberg (eds.), Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, 4th edn. Philadelphia: Lippincott, 1993; based on data from C. Muir et al., Cancer Incidence in Five Continents, Vol. 5. Lyon: International Agency for Research on Cancer, 1987.)
