To examine the practicability and value of mapping cancers in Hong Kong, selected data from consecutive censuses were used to assess the demographic stability and socioeconomic characteristics of the 27 districts. Mortality data in two quinquennia (1979-1988) were used to calculate the districts' standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) for various cancers and their ranks were presented in maps. Correlations were calculated between the SMRs for the cancers, and between the SMRs and the socioeconomic characteristics. Population sizes and socioeconomic characteristics of the districts were fairly stable in most districts. The SMRs of many cancers differed widely between districts. Affluent districts tended to have high SMRs for colorectal and breast cancers, but low SMRs for nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) as well as liver and lung cancers. The directions of the SMR ranking correlations between the two quinquennia were generally consistent. Statistically significant correlations between some cancers were replicated, particularly for males, and between some cancers and socioeconomic characteristics.
为研究在香港绘制癌症地图的可行性和价值，我们利用连续人口普查的选定数据，评估了27个地区的人口稳定性和社会经济特征。使用两个五年期（1979 - 1988年）的死亡率数据来计算各地区各种癌症的标准化死亡率（SMR），并将其排名绘制在地图上。计算了各种癌症的标准化死亡率之间以及标准化死亡率与社会经济特征之间的相关性。大多数地区的人口规模和社会经济特征相当稳定。许多癌症的标准化死亡率在不同地区之间差异很大。富裕地区的结直肠癌和乳腺癌标准化死亡率往往较高，但鼻咽癌、肝癌和肺癌的标准化死亡率较低。两个五年期之间标准化死亡率排名相关性的方向总体一致。一些癌症之间的统计显著相关性得到了重复验证，尤其是男性群体，以及一些癌症与社会经济特征之间的相关性。
