Population-based data from the Texas Cancer Registry were used to describe the incidence of cancer in 1990 among Texas residents younger than 20 years. A total of 788 primary malignant neoplasms were diagnosed. Higher incidence of all cancers was observed among Texas Anglo children compared with Hispanics or African-Americans, and lower rates of central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms were seen among Hispanics. Compared with national data, significantly fewer cases of all cancers combined, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, neuroblastoma, and CNS neoplasms were seen in Texas Hispanics. The overall incidence of leukemia and acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) was highest in Hispanics compared with other Texas children, and a three-fold statistically significant excess of ANLL was evident in Hispanic females compared with national whites. In summary, the incidence of cancer in Texas Hispanic children and adolescents differs from that seen in other racial and ethnic groups. Incidence data for Texas provide additional insight into the descriptive nature of childhood and adolescent cancers.
德克萨斯癌症登记处基于人群的数据被用于描述1990年德克萨斯州20岁以下居民的癌症发病率。共诊断出788例原发性恶性肿瘤。与西班牙裔或非裔美国人相比，德克萨斯州盎格鲁儿童的所有癌症发病率更高，而西班牙裔的中枢神经系统（CNS）肿瘤发病率较低。与全国数据相比，德克萨斯州西班牙裔中所有癌症合并病例、非霍奇金淋巴瘤、神经母细胞瘤和中枢神经系统肿瘤的病例明显较少。与德克萨斯州其他儿童相比，西班牙裔的白血病和急性非淋巴细胞白血病（ANLL）总体发病率最高，与美国白人相比，西班牙裔女性的ANLL有统计学意义的三倍显著超额。总之，德克萨斯州西班牙裔儿童和青少年的癌症发病率与其他种族和族裔群体不同。德克萨斯州的发病率数据为儿童和青少年癌症的描述性特征提供了更多见解。
