South Australian Cancer Registry data for 1977-1986 have been used to compare the incidence of cancer for overseas-born populations and for the State as a whole. British and Irish migrants were found to have a higher incidence of all cancer sites combined, largely because of elevations in the incidence of cancers of the lung, stomach and female breast, whereas southern-European migrants showed a lower incidence of cancer, mostly as a result of low incidence rates for cancers of the colon, prostate, lung (women only), melanoma and female breast. Differences in incidence also were evident by country of birth for cancers of the buccal cavity, oropharynx, nasopharynx, oesophagus, liver, larynx, pleura, testes, uterine body, bladder and kidney, and various lymphohaematopoietic cancers. The aetiological implications of these findings, particularly in relation to environmental and life-style factors, are considered.
南澳大利亚癌症登记处1977 - 1986年的数据被用于比较海外出生人群和整个该州的癌症发病率。结果发现，英国和爱尔兰移民所有癌症部位的综合发病率较高，这主要是因为肺癌、胃癌和女性乳腺癌的发病率上升；而南欧移民的癌症发病率较低，这主要是由于结肠癌、前列腺癌、肺癌（仅女性）、黑色素瘤和女性乳腺癌的发病率较低。口腔、口咽、鼻咽、食管、肝脏、喉、胸膜、睾丸、子宫体、膀胱和肾脏的癌症以及各种淋巴造血系统癌症的发病率在出生国方面也存在明显差异。本文考虑了这些发现的病因学意义，特别是与环境和生活方式因素的关系。
