    A ten-year review revealed a similarity in the incidence of teratoma in relation to other childhood tumors in Malaysian as compared with Caucasian children. The most common sites of origin were the sacropcoccygeal, gonadal, and retroperitoneal areas. The reason for the high incidence of retroperitoneal tumor in our series as compared with other countries is not clear. Late presentation and poor followup are associated with poor prognosis.

    The new millennium has seen distinct changes in the pattern of gastrointestinal disease in the Asia-Pacific region. These changes are important as more than half of the world's population come from the region and therefore impact significantly on the global disease burden. The highest incidence of gastric cancer (GCA) has been reported from Asia and GCA remains a very important cancer. However time-trend studies have shown a decrease in GCA incidence in several countries in Asia. A rise in cardio-esophageal cancers as seen in the West has not been reported. On the other hand, colorectal cancer has been steadily increasing in Asia with age-standardized incidence rates of some countries approaching that of the West. The pattern of acid-related diseases has also changed. Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a fast emerging disease with an increasing prevalence of reflux esophagitis and reflux symptoms. The prevalence of peptic ulcer disease has at the same time declined in step with a decrease in H. pylori infection. Many of the changes taking place mirror the Western experience of several decades ago. Astute observation of the epidemiology of emerging diseases combined with good scientific work will allow a clearer understanding of the key processes underlying these changes. With rapid modernization, lifestyle changes have been blamed for an increase in several diseases including gastroesophageal reflux disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and colorectal cancer. A worrying trend has been the increase in obesity among Asians, which has been associated with an increase in metabolic diseases and various gastrointestinal cancers. Conversely, an improvement in living conditions has been closely linked to the decrease in GCA and H. pylori prevalence.

    One hundred years ago cervical cancer was rapidly fatal, regardless of therapy rendered. Today with cytological screening, early diagnosis is possible and ablative therapy can be instituted in appropriate cases. The advent of coloscopy has helped reduce unnecessary cone biopsy for diagnosis. However, the same cannot be said of the use of cytology for screening endometrial cancer, and often endometrial tissue biopsy is necessary. Ovarian cancer is notoriously silent in its early stages and symptoms if present are generally non-specific. To date there is no other useful and reliable method for its early detection than routine pelvic examination. An annual cytological screening test for cervical cancer will give an opportunity for examination of the breasts, abdomen and pelvis. Screening techniques for female genital tract malignancies are discussed.

    This is an analysis of histologically proven neoplasms encountered in Sarawak in 1976 and 1977. There were 1447 benign and 1368 malignant tumours. The detailed breakdown of malignant neoplasms with their racial and sex distribution is reported, Lymph node involvement, with primary and metastatic lesions, constituted the largest single group with 22.3 per cent of all malignancies. The next in order of frequency was the Reproductive system with a marked preponderance of Cervical Carcinoma in females. The next in frequency were Skin cancers (8.85%) and Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (8.4%). Primary liver cell cancer and Breast cancer constituted 5.85 per cent and 5.79 per cent respectively of all malignant tumours. The high prevalence of malignant neoplasms in Chinese is suggestive of racial predisposition.

    INTRODUCTION: Oral cancer is common cancer in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with a low five-year survival rate. It is among the four most common types of cancer in South East Asia region. In South-Central Asia, lip and oral cavity cancer is the second most common cancer according to the specific cancer types.

    METHODS: This scoping review intended to investigate published studies on the current prevalence and incidence of oral cancer in LMICs. The review was conducted applying the search words "Oral Cancer" and "Mouth neoplasm" as the Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) major topic and "Epidemiology" and ("prevalence" OR "incidence") as the MeSH subheading; the search was supplemented by cross-references. Included studies met the following criteria: original studies, reporting of prevalence or incidence rates, population-based studies, studies in English language and studies involving humans.

    RESULTS: The sample sizes ranged from 486 to 101,761 with 213,572 persons included. Buccal mucosa is one of the most common sites of oral cancer, associated with the widespread exposure to chewing tobacco. The incidence is likely to rise in the region where gutkha, pan masala, pan-tobacco and various other forms of chewing tobacco are popular.

    CONCLUSION: This review contributes to useful information on prevalence and incidence estimates of oral cancer in LMICs.
