For men, this increase bas been from 0.7 per 100,000 in 1914 to 19.6 per 100,000 in 1950 (figure 4). ln 1920, cancer of the lung represented 1.1 percent of ali cancer. ln 1930 this figure was 2.2; in 1948, 8.3 (figure 5). 1 have bad the temerity to predict that in 1970 it will represent 18 per cent or one in about every five cases of cancer, and this is for both sexes.
