Data on cancer incidence in Israel have been collected by the Israel Cancer Registry since 1960. Overall incidence patterns are similar to those observed in other "Westernized" countries. In the total Jewish population, lung cancer accounts for one in seven cancers in males and breast cancer, for one in four cancers in females. The main time trends are: a decrease in stomach cancer, a halt in the increase of male lung cancer and a continuing rise for female lung cancer, female breast cancer, cancer of the colon and rectum, and malignant melanoma. Cancer of the uterine cervix may be on the rise in Israel-born women. The relatively high incidence of cancer of the esophagus in immigrants from Iran and Yemen and of cancer of the nasopharynx in immigrants from North Africa probably reflect incidence patterns in their countries of origin.
自1960年以来，以色列癌症登记处一直在收集以色列的癌症发病率数据。总体发病模式与其他“西方化”国家观察到的模式相似。在犹太总人口中，肺癌在男性癌症中占七分之一，乳腺癌在女性癌症中占四分之一。主要的时间趋势是：胃癌发病率下降，男性肺癌发病率上升趋势停止，而女性肺癌、女性乳腺癌、结肠直肠癌和恶性黑色素瘤的发病率持续上升。在以色列出生的女性中，子宫颈癌发病率可能在上升。来自伊朗和也门的移民中食管癌发病率相对较高，来自北非的移民中鼻咽癌发病率相对较高，这可能反映了他们原籍国的发病模式。
