Abstract

This study investigated the 25-year incidence of childhood cancer in Hawai'i, including sex, age, and ethnic differences and time trends. Leukemia was the most common diagnosis. Japanese in Hawai'i have lower pediatric cancer rates than for the United States. Previous trends toward increasing ethnic disparities in incidence rates were not found. Growing numbers of survivors imply the need for increased follow-up care.

摘要

本研究调查了夏威夷儿童癌症的25年发病率，包括性别、年龄、种族差异和时间趋势。白血病是最常见的诊断疾病。夏威夷的日本人患儿科癌症的比率低于美国。未发现发病率方面种族差异扩大的先前趋势。幸存者数量不断增加意味着需要加强后续护理。
