The data were collected from the Khon Kaen population-based cancer registration which is one of two population-based cancer registrations of Thailand. It covers the population of about 1.5 million in 20 districts. The female population from 1985 to 1989 was about 750000 to 800000. 


There were 136 new cases of ovarian cancer recorded in this 5-year pe riod. The aged-standardized rate from 1985 to 1989 was 4.49, 4.26, 4.42, 7.09 and 2.72 per 100000 population per year respectively. The age-standardized mortality rate was 1.95, 0.82, 0.95, 0.88 and 0.34 per 100000 population per year respec tively. (Thai J Obstet Gynaecol 1990 ; 2: 95-101.)
