The published data for overall cancer incidence for the registries of Birmingham (UK) and Connecticut (US) show remarkable similarity for men but diverge for women. The incidence of cancer of the endometrium, ovary and breast in Connecticut is higher than in Birmingham, and in each case the menopausal dislocation in the age-specific incidence plot of the Birmingham data is obscured in that for Connecticut. For endometrial cancer, the difference correlates with differences in the two countries in the use of oestrogen replacement therapy, recently implicated in the aetiology of endometrial cancer. The similarity in the pattern for ovarian and breast cancer, and the changing pattern of breast cancer incidence in Birmingham suggest a similar aetiological effect.
