Cancer mortality data for 2000-2009 in the local health district of Vercelli (northern Italy) were analysed. Overall, standard mortality rates show excess mortality rates in men for colon and rectal cancers, central nervous system cancers, as well as esophageal, laryngeal, renal, lung, skin (non melanoma) and skeletal system cancers. For women, excess mortality rates were found for skin (non melanoma), leukemias, nervous system cancers, lymphomas and skeletal system cancers. Mortality data for the years 2006-2009 were compared to data for 2000-2005. Results show an increased mortality risk for mesothelioma in the period 2006-2009 with respect to the period 2000-2005. On the other hand decreased mortality risks were found for nervous system tumours and leukemia, even though current standard mortality rates remain in excess. In light of these findings, it is advisable to monitor the phenomenon in the coming years and to conduct studies to identify possible risk factors.
对意大利北部韦尔切利当地卫生区2000 - 2009年的癌症死亡率数据进行了分析。总体而言，标准死亡率显示，男性在结肠癌、直肠癌、中枢神经系统癌症以及食管癌、喉癌、肾癌、肺癌、皮肤癌（非黑色素瘤）和骨骼系统癌症方面存在超额死亡率。对于女性，在皮肤癌（非黑色素瘤）、白血病、神经系统癌症、淋巴瘤和骨骼系统癌症方面发现了超额死亡率。将2006 - 2009年的死亡率数据与2000 - 2005年的数据进行了比较。结果显示，与2000 - 2005年相比，2006 - 2009年期间间皮瘤的死亡风险增加。另一方面，尽管目前的标准死亡率仍然过高，但神经系统肿瘤和白血病的死亡风险有所降低。鉴于这些发现，建议在未来几年监测这一现象，并开展研究以确定可能的风险因素。
