The paper discusses changes in age-standardized indexes of incidence of skin malignant melanoma in male and female population of Estonia observed within 1963-1982. In 1968-1982, the average annual increase in the tumor incidence was 6.0% for males and 7.2% for females, being the highest for melanoma of the lower limbs. The 1, 5, 10 and 14-year relative survival rates in patients with skin malignant melanoma diagnosed within 1968-1982 were 71.6, 33.2, 35.3 and 16.4% for males and 84.2, 55.6, 43.2 and 42.0% for female patients, respectively.

Crude and age-adjusted (UICC world standard) morbidity rates of gastric cancer have been presented. The linear-regression analysis of age-ajusted rates for 1963--1972 shows a significant mean annual decrease of 2.9% for males and 4.9% for females. In 1968--1971 the ratio of Russian to Estonian age-ajusted rates was 1.9--2.0 for urban and 1.7 for rural population. 46.1 +/- 2.7% of Russian migrants (gastric cancer patients) have migrated to Estonia from high risk areas. 38.3--61.3% of males and 27.1--47.7% of females have a microscopic verification of the diagnosis.
