Epidemiology of cancer of the female genital organs in Yugoslavia.

The descriptive epidemiological method was applied. In the preparation of the data, basic statistical procedures were used. Data were obtained from Slovenian Cancer Registry and Yugoslav Statistics Institute, and studied over the period from 1971 to 1985. In terms of rate of occurrence, malignant neoplasms of the female genital organs rank first in all cases of cancer, with 20.94%. Uterine cervix and corpus and ovary, are always in the ten leading primary cancer sites. Malignant neoplasms of the female genital organs comprise about 2% of all causes of death in females and just over 15% of all deaths from cancer. Cervical cancer has an average incidence rate of 18.56, while mortality rate is 4.67 per 100,000 women. Both incidence and mortality decreased throughout the investigated period. Other malignant neoplasms of the uterus appear in 15.45 cases per 100,000 and this rate shows a slightly increasing trend. However, the mortality rate is 3.77 and this shows a distinct decrease, in all parts of the country. The average incidence rate for cancer of the ovary is 12.61, decreasing slowly. Malignant neoplasms of the ovary have the mortality rate of 3.94, which has been constantly rising. Malignant neoplasms of the other genital organs have the average incidence rate of 3.15 and mortality rate of 0.95. These rates remain stable over the period from 1971 to 1985.

Cytogenetic studies on five species of Pisces from Yugoslavia.

The chromosomes of five species of Pisces, viz common carp, chub, tench, grass carp and catfish, were investigated. The diploid chromosome number in the common carp was found to be 98, with 50 meta- to submetacentric chromosomes, 48 subtelo- to telocentric chromosomes, and the arms number (NF) was 148. Chub was found with 2n of 50, consisting of 34 meta- to submetacentric chromosomes and 16 subtelo- to telocentric chromosomes (NF 84). In the case of the grass carp 2n was 48, with 32 meta- to submetacentric chromosomes and 16 subtelo- to telocentric chromosomes (NF 80). Both tench and catfish with 2n of 48 had similar karyotypes, consisting of 30 meta- to submetacentric chromosomes and 18 subtelo- to telocentric chromosomes (NF 78).

Relationship of some biosocial factors to colon cancer in Belgrade (Yugoslavia).

Eighty-eight patients with histologically confirmed colon cancer and two control groups individually matched by age, sex and place of residence, were interviewed about demographic, biosocial and medical variables. The use of laxatives, past history of large bowel disease and coffee consumption for 20 or more years were significantly more frequent among colon cancer than in their controls. No significant differences were found between cases and controls with respect to education level, job activity, smoking habits, alcohol consumption and cholecystectomy.
