Time trends of age-standardized rate (ASR) of uterine cancer incidence (ICD-10: cervix uteri (C53), corpus uteri (C54)) were compared among 18 selected cancer registries and ethnic/racial groups in East Asia, Europe and the USA. The data source was the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents, Vols IV–VIII (years at diagnosis: 1973–1977, 1978–1982, 1983–1987, 1988– 1992 and 1993–1997, respectively). World population was used for age-standardization. Figure 1 shows the time trends of ASR of cervix uteri cancer incidence. In East Asia, Hong Kong (China), Osaka (Japan) and Shanghai (China) the ASR decreased sharply during the overall study period. The ASR in Miyagi (Japan) decreased from 1973–1977 to 1983–1987, followed by a slow increase and a slow decrease. Nagasaki (Japan) showed a decreasing trend from 1973–1977 to 1988–1992 followed by an increase, which exceeded that in Hong Kong, and showed the highest ASRs in the most recent period (1993–1997). The ASR in Shanghai decreased rapidly from 1973–1977 and showed lower ASRs
