Cancer incidence in 1990-92 among English south Asian (residents with ethnic origins in India, Pakistan or Bangladesh) and non-south Asian children is compared. Standardized incidence ratios show significant overall excesses in south Asians (131), largely due to higher rates in south Asian boys, and specific excesses for leukaemia (141), lymphoid leukaemia (141), lymphoma (172) and hepatic tumours (375). Aetiological investigation is required.
对1990 - 1992年间英国南亚裔(祖籍为印度、巴基斯坦或孟加拉国的居民)儿童和非南亚裔儿童的癌症发病率进行了比较。标准化发病率显示,南亚裔儿童总体上有显著的超额发病率(131),这主要归因于南亚裔男孩的发病率较高,白血病(141)、淋巴性白血病(141)、淋巴瘤(172)和肝肿瘤(375)有特定的超额发病率。需要进行病因学调查。
