Malaysia is the nation consisted of three races, Malays, Chinese and Indians. Researchers have found out the racial differences in incidences of hepatic diseases. Reviewing about 5, 000 biopsies from all areas of Malaysia, Marsden (1958) noticed the high incidence of hepatoma in Chinese, and that of skin cancer in Indians. Similar results were also shown by Kutty and Balasegaram (1972) in hospital cases in Malaysia from a statistical study. We carried out a biostatistical study onn liver cancer and liver diseases in Malaysia in November 1974. This study was held as a part of the study: A Malaysia-Japan Cooperative Study on Mycotoxins in Foods in Relation to Liver Diseases in Malaysia (1975). Our dietary survey (1980) was also done in Sekinchan near the town, Tanjong Karang in Selangor state. As some data were collected during our stay in Malaysia, the analysis was carried out mainly the mortality caused by liver cancer. Malaysia is such a multiracial nation that it is eminently suitable to compare the characteristics of the mortality and the way of life between communities even in the same natural environment.
