title: Breast cancer in Surinam.
abstract: Two hundred forty two breast malignancies, all in women, including 238 carcinomas and four sarcomas, were screened in surgical pathologic materials from 1964-1976 in Surinam (population 385,000). The histologic types were similar to those generally seen. The mean age was 55.1 years and the range 24 to 89 years; 45.8% of cases came from the Creole population. The incidence in this period is calculated at 9.5/100,000.
