    Abstract

    Background/Aims: There is growing interest worldwide in primary liver cancer. The aim of this study was to describe the incidence of this cancer over a 20-year period in a well-defined French population. Methods: Time trends by 4-year period were studied by sex, age group, place of residence, histological type and associated cirrhosis. Trends were also analysed using the age-period-cohort model. Results: Primary liver cancer incidence in men increased from 7.5/100 000 for the period 1976-79 to 10.2/100 000 for the period 1992-95. The mean annual variation was +2.2% (p
