title: [Comparative epidemiologic studies of multiple sclerosis and cancer of the large intestine in several provinces of western Poland].
abstract: A trial was made of finding a correlation between the incidence and prevalence of multiple sclerosis and large bowel carcinoma in several microregions (communities and areas of the former counties). The following conclusions have been reached. No correlation was found between the incidence of multiple sclerosis and large bowel carcinoma in these studied areas. A positive correlation was demonstrated between the prevalence of multiple sclerosis and large bowel carcinoma in the areas corresponding to former counties but not in communities. Since the latter index is of much lower importance for the estimation of the frequency of malignant neoplasms there is no reason to assume the existence of one or several common aetiologic factors of multiple sclerosis and large bowel carcinoma determining local differences in the frequency of these diseases.
