Cancer registration, introduced in New Zealand in 1948, evolved from a clinically oriented to a population-based collection scheme. The registry, located within the National Health Statistics Centre, can draw on a wide range of other health data reported to that office. New Zealand has a population of 3 million, 8% of whom are Maoris. Findings indicated that cancer is the second leading cause of death and that Maori women have a much higher overall cancer death toll than other New Zealand women. Significantly higher incidence rates for cancers of the stomach, pancreas, lung, thyroid gland, and uterus and lower rates for cancer of the large bowel and melanoma of the skin were found in Maoris.
癌症登记于1948年在新西兰引入，从以临床为导向的方式演变为基于人群的收集方案。该登记处位于国家卫生统计中心内，可以利用向该办公室报告的广泛其他健康数据。新西兰有300万人口，其中8%是毛利人。研究结果表明，癌症是第二大死因，毛利女性的总体癌症死亡人数比其他新西兰女性高得多。毛利人患胃癌、胰腺癌、肺癌、甲状腺癌和子宫癌的发病率明显较高，而患大肠癌和皮肤黑色素瘤的发病率较低。
