Abstract

The number of patients treated for hanseniasis and cancer in Israel is not sufficient for a statistical analysis. A general conclusion about the incidence of cancer in hanseniasis patients has not been reached. The data presented may be perhaps useful for a comparison with those of other researchers interested in the subject.
