A higher incidence of germ cell testicular cancer was found in Maoris (6.84/100,000) compared with non-Maoris (5.26/100,000) in New Zealand from 1975 to 1986, especially in the 15-49 year age group (Maoris 12.30/100,000, non-Maoris 9.47/100,000; P = 0.04). Previous studies have shown Whites to have the highest incidence of this malignancy. Possible reasons for this and some other epidemiological features are discussed.
1975年至1986年期间,在新西兰发现,毛利人患睾丸生殖细胞癌的发病率(6.84/10万)高于非毛利人(5.26/10万),尤其是在15 - 49岁年龄组(毛利人12.30/10万,非毛利人9.47/10万;P = 0.04)。先前的研究表明,白人患这种恶性肿瘤的发病率最高。本文讨论了出现这种情况的可能原因以及其他一些流行病学特征。
