Abstract
As the year 2000 rapidly approaches, it is time to ask the question, "What will be the common diseases of the 21st century?" While there is insufficient information to reliably answer this question, there are some trends that may permit a partial answer. It is likely that lung cancer and AIDS will be 2 of the most common diseases of the early part of the 21st century.

The numbers of new cancer cases in 16 common sites occurring in 1980 have been estimated and it is suggested that, with declining incidence rates for stomach cancer and the continuing rise for lung cancer, the latter would become the most common cancer in the world by the end of 1981.
