Abstract

A study of the distribution of cancer in the Parsi community has brought to light certain important differences existing between this community and other communities of Western India. Such variations may be due to the habits and customs of the Parsis and perhaps in a small measure to ethnic characteristics. There is a striking preponderance of cancer at certain sites such as the anterior two‐thirds of the tongue, the female breast and the uterus. In contrast, the disease is far less frequent in the buccal mucosa, base of the tongue, cervix and lung than in other communities.
