Mortality rates in 1980, for the major cancer sites, are presented for Argentina as a whole, and for the 22 provinces, the capital city, and the southern territories. In comparison with other countries, national mortality rates are high for oesophageal cancer and cancer of the larynx, and moderately elevated for cancers of the lung, colon, breast, and bladder in males. The rates of tobacco-related cancers (lung, bladder and larynx) were much higher in males than females, and in males showed similar geographical patterns. In females, breast cancer rates by province showed a positive correlation with those for cancer of the colon, and a negative correlation with cervical cancer. There were marked geographical variations, quite different in the two sexes, in the mortality from oesophageal cancer. It is suggested that, although some of these variations within Argentina may be related to ethnic differences and patterns of migration from neighbouring countries, for the majority the explanations must lie in different exposures to environmental of lifestyle factors, such as diet.
1980年，列出了阿根廷全国以及22个省、首都和南部地区主要癌症部位的死亡率。与其他国家相比，阿根廷全国食管癌和喉癌的死亡率较高，男性肺癌、结肠癌、乳腺癌和膀胱癌的死亡率中度升高。与烟草相关的癌症（肺癌、膀胱癌和喉癌）的发病率男性远高于女性，且男性呈现出相似的地理分布模式。在女性中，各省乳腺癌发病率与结肠癌发病率呈正相关，与宫颈癌发病率呈负相关。食管癌死亡率存在明显的地理差异，两性差异很大。有人认为，尽管阿根廷境内的一些差异可能与种族差异以及来自邻国的移民模式有关，但对于大多数差异而言，其解释必定在于对饮食等环境或生活方式因素的不同接触。
