Cancer mortality in Texas 1969-80 was 25 per cent lower among Mexican American males compared to other Whites; among females, rates were only 4 per cent lower. Reduced mortality was primarily a result of lower rates for cancers of the most common sites: lung, colon, breast and prostate. However, for cancers of the stomach, liver, and gallbladder, Mexican Americans had higher rates than other Whites. Female Mexican Americans were also at a higher mortality risk for cervical cancer. Implications are discussed.
1969年至1980年期间，德克萨斯州墨西哥裔美国男性的癌症死亡率比其他白人低25%；女性的死亡率仅低4%。死亡率降低主要是由于最常见癌症部位（肺癌、结肠癌、乳腺癌和前列腺癌）的发病率较低。然而，对于胃癌、肝癌和胆囊癌，墨西哥裔美国人的发病率高于其他白人。墨西哥裔美国女性患宫颈癌的死亡风险也更高。本文讨论了相关影响。
