This descriptive epidemiological study analyzes the frequency of cancer after the arrival of Ethiopian immigrants as reported to the Israel Cancer Registry from 1984 to 1989. The study cohort comprised 8,272 individuals (estimated 4,253 males and 4,019 females) with 27,966 and 26,848 person-years observed for males and females, respectively. Overall cancer incidence in this migrant cohort was low for both genders compared to cancer incidence among Jews born in Israel. The standardized incidence ratio (SIR) (in percentage) for cancers at all sites was 39 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 22-64] and 63 (95% CI = 41-92) for males and females, respectively. Male primary liver cancer and female thyroid cancer had high SIRs. All other sites had either average or low SIRs. No cases of neoplasms were reported in the respiratory system. Except for primary liver cancer, digestive neoplasms had an inverse male: female ratio.
这项描述性流行病学研究分析了1984年至1989年向以色列癌症登记处报告的埃塞俄比亚移民抵达后癌症的发病频率。研究队列包括8272人（估计男性4253人，女性4019人），男性和女性分别观察到27966和26848人年。与出生在以色列的犹太人的癌症发病率相比，这个移民队列中男女的总体癌症发病率都较低。所有部位癌症的标准化发病率（SIR）（以百分比表示）男性为39[95%置信区间（CI）=22-64]，女性为63（95%CI=41-92）。男性原发性肝癌和女性甲状腺癌的标准化发病率较高。所有其他部位的标准化发病率均为平均或较低。呼吸系统未报告肿瘤病例。除原发性肝癌外，消化系统肿瘤的男女比例呈反比。
