title: Cancer of the endometrium in the province of Trieste: epidemiological considerations.
abstract: The Authors examined the epidemiological behaviour of endometrial carcinoma in the Province of Trieste from 1969 to 1980. In this period a European standard incidence of 14.33(0)/0000 was recorded. The most affected age group is 60 to 69, and the average age is 64 years. A clear increasing trend of this kind of neoplasia was recorded. This increase mainly occurs in younger age groups than those which presently are most affected.
