An analysis of the mortality for malignant tumors in Poland in 1986 is provided. The most frequent neoplasms noted in Poland were in 1986: in men cancer of the lungs (33.5% of all malignancies), cancer of the stomach (13.4%), prostate (4.8%), and pancreas (4.2%). In women the most frequent were: breast cancer (13.1%), cancer of the stomach (9.6%), lungs (7.8%), and cervix (6.7%). In 1986, significant difference in mortality rate was seen between men and women (prevalence of death in men) and between urban and rural areas (prevalence in urban areas). Moreover, persisting higher mortality rate for malignancies was noted in the western and central regions in comparison to eastern Poland. Mortality rate for malignancies in both men and women is higher in Poland than the average mortality rate in Europe.
