This table shows the patterns of change in the incidence of cancers of the GI tract between data gathered between 1974-1977 and that gathered between 1988-1992 in Hong Kong.

The decline in upper GI cancers can be contrasted with the increase in cancers of the lower GI tract. Note the high incidence of liver cancer, which probably reflects the high prevalence of hepatitis.
