%X We prove a cancellation theorem for simple re nement monoids
satisfying the weak comparability condition,  rst introduced by K.C. O'Meara
in the context of von Neumann regular rings. This result is then applied to
von Neumann regular rings and C -algebras of real rank zero via the monoid
of isomorphism classes of  nitely generated projective modules.
