Faivre J [Registre Bourguignon des Cancers Digestifs, Faculté de Médecine, 7 Boulevard Jeanne d'Arc, 21033 Dijon, Cedex, France), Milan C, Hillon MC, Martin F and Klepping C. Incidence of digestive tract cancers in a well defined population in France. International Journal of Epidemiology 1980, 9: 225–226.

A systematic registration of mortality and morbidity from digestive tract cancers was started in January 1976 in the French department of Cote d'Or (population 455 727). In the course of 3 years 1 356 newly diagnosed cases were recorded. In males cancer of the rectum is the most common digestive tract cancer, coming before cancer of the stomach and cancer of the colon. In females cancer of the colon prevails over cancer of the rectum and cancer of the stomach. The survey allows comparison with the incidence rate of digestive cancers in other countries. Results of treatment underline the lateness of diagnosis.
