Rates for the incidence and mortality of cancer have greatly increased in American blacks as they has been assimilated into Western culture. There are many apparent causes for this change, and perhaps one factor is the mixing of genetic backgrounds to produce a single population. Heightened rates may be stemmed, however, by directing greater attention to prevention of cancer by elimination of carcinogens from the environment.
随着美国黑人融入西方文化,癌症的发病率和死亡率大幅上升。这种变化有许多明显的原因,也许一个因素是不同遗传背景的混合形成了单一的群体。然而,通过更加关注从环境中消除致癌物来预防癌症,发病率可能会得到控制。
