Cancer incidence in migrants to New South Wales (NSW) from the British Isles, north-central, eastern and southern Europe, the Middle East and Asia has been compared with that in Australian-born residents using data from the NSW Central Cancer Registry for 1972-84. Indirectly standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were low in migrants from all 6 regions for melanoma of skin and cancers of lip and, except in men from eastern Europe, colon. Oesophageal, rectal and prostatic cancers also tended to be relatively less common. Cancers which were more common than in the Australian-born were those of the stomach and, for men, bladder (except in the Asian-born). Migrants from different regions showed variations from the cancer pattern of the Australian-born population which, for the most part, were predictable from the known incidence of cancer in the countries within the region of origin. Exceptions were the high relative incidence of nasopharyngeal cancer in migrants from southern Europe and bladder cancer in men from all regions other than Asia.
利用新南威尔士州中央癌症登记处1972 - 1984年的数据，将来自不列颠群岛、欧洲中北部、东部和南部、中东和亚洲的新南威尔士州（NSW）移民的癌症发病率与澳大利亚出生居民的发病率进行了比较。来自所有6个地区的移民中，皮肤黑色素瘤、唇癌以及（东欧男性除外）结肠癌的间接标准化发病率（SIRs）较低。食管癌、直肠癌和前列腺癌也往往相对不那么常见。比澳大利亚出生居民中更常见的癌症是胃癌，对男性来说还有膀胱癌（亚洲出生的男性除外）。来自不同地区的移民与澳大利亚出生人口的癌症模式存在差异，在很大程度上，这些差异可以根据原籍地区国家已知的癌症发病率预测出来。例外情况是来自南欧的移民中鼻咽癌相对高发，以及除亚洲以外所有地区男性的膀胱癌。
