The 1970-72 cancer mortality of Polish migrants to England and Wales is compared with the cancer mortality prevailing in England and Wales and in Poland. Small numbers limit the analyses to the most frequent cancer sites only. The main findings are: (a) Compared with mortality rates in both their country of birth and of adoption, Polish migrants displayed intermediate values for cancers of the stomach, intestinal tract, and lung. For age-groups over 74 years, lung-cancer mortality among the migrants appears, however, to be higher than in both Poland and England and Wales. (b) A distinctly higher mortality among Polish migrants than either in Poland or England and Wales was apparent for lymphomas in both sexes, and for leukaemia and oesophageal cancer in males. (c) Female breast-cancer mortality among Polish migrants was much higher than in Poland, being close to the high mortality rates prevailing in England and Wales. The present findings are compared with the results of similar studies of Polish migrants to the United States and Australia and reasons for observed differences are advanced.
对1970 - 1972年间波兰移民到英格兰和威尔士后的癌症死亡率，与英格兰和威尔士以及波兰当地的癌症死亡率进行了比较。由于样本数量较少，分析仅局限于最常见的癌症部位。主要研究结果如下：(a) 与出生国和移入国的死亡率相比，波兰移民在胃癌、肠道癌和肺癌方面呈现出中间值。然而，对于74岁以上的年龄组，移民中的肺癌死亡率似乎高于波兰以及英格兰和威尔士。(b) 波兰移民中淋巴瘤在男女两性中的死亡率明显高于波兰或英格兰和威尔士，男性白血病和食管癌的死亡率也是如此。(c) 波兰移民中女性乳腺癌死亡率远高于波兰，接近英格兰和威尔士普遍存在的高死亡率。将目前的研究结果与对移民到美国和澳大利亚的波兰人进行的类似研究结果进行了比较，并探讨了观察到差异的原因。
