This study compared cancer mortality among the Seneca Nation of Indians (SNI) between 1955 and 1984 with cancer patterns exhibited by the general population of New York State (NYS), exclusive of New York City. Cancer mortality among the SNI was compared with cancer mortality in NYS using age and sex standardized mortality ratios (SMR). Deficits in overall cancer mortality were noted among both SNI males (SMR = 78) and females (SMR = 73). Results from this investigation will contribute to the understanding of patterns of malignant disease mortality among native peoples and may be of benefit for monitoring the impact of cancer mortality among the SNI and other Native American groups.
本研究将1955年至1984年间印第安人塞内卡族（SNI）的癌症死亡率与纽约州（NYS）（不包括纽约市）普通人群呈现的癌症模式进行了比较。使用年龄和性别标准化死亡率（SMR）将SNI的癌症死亡率与NYS的癌症死亡率进行了比较。在SNI男性（SMR = 78）和女性（SMR = 73）中均发现总体癌症死亡率存在不足。这项调查的结果将有助于了解原住民中恶性疾病的死亡率模式，并可能有助于监测SNI和其他美国原住民群体中癌症死亡率的影响。
