Abstract

The analysis of autopsy data from 1928 to 1972 shows that the relative frequency of carcinoma of pancreas has undergone a threefold increase during the past 30 years. During period B (1953--1972) there has been a real increase (twofold) for the middle and higher age groups as compared with that during period A (1928-1952). Further, it seems that the frequency rises non-linearly with age and that the higher age groups are relatively more prone to a malignant change of the pancreas. The pattern of pathological manifestations has been discussed and its practical importance pointed out.
