An increase in the frequency of corpus cancer over the period 1954-1969 and 1965-1969 in records for the S. Anna Hospital, Turin, and the Piedmont and Aosta Valley areas respectively is reported.

The findings are in line with the view that this neoplasia is hormone-dependent and a public health programme for its prevention is proposed.
