ABSTRACT
Figures accumulated in the Jamaica Cancer Registry for the period 1958-1968 show that this cancer ranks second among all malignancies in females. The incidence is higher than that in Africa and in other underprivileged communities. The histological sub-division of these cancers will also be presented. Further work in Jamaica - and possibly other West Indian territories - should be undertaken to study possible explanations for the high incidence observed (AU)
