Ethnic differences in cancer rates. Rates of death from cancer are lower in South Asian Canadians as compared to those of Chinese or European origin, as found in this study based on the Canadian Mortality database.

Similar results from a study of mortality records in Britain. Breast cancer mortality was lowest in people born in the Indian subcontinent. Lung cancer mortality among Bangladeshi men was significantly higher than Indians and Pakistanis.

Using data from death certificates, risks of cancer mortality for immigrants from the Indian subcontinent in England and Wales were compared with those of native residents. Oral, pharyngeal and liver cancers occurred at higher rates among the South Asian immigrants, while colon, rectal, and ovarian cancer occurred at lower rates.

Cancer incidence in Asian immigrants to Australia was studied; interestingly, the rates of most types of cancer, while lower than in native born Australians, were closer to this group than to rates in the countries of birth.

Tobacco chewing. Pan chewing is thought to be linked to the high rates of oral cancer in South Asia. 92% of first generation Bangladeshi immigrant women said they chewed pan in this study conducted in inner city Leeds and Bradford.

Cervical cancer. Indian women had the highest rate of cervical cancer in this study done in Singapore, higher than in Chinese and Malay women.

Cervical cancer is the leading cancer for Indian women, and early age of marriage (sexual activity? childbearing?) may be a factor.

Mortality from cervical cancer was significantly related to how early the disease was diagnosed, in this Bangalore study.

Digestive tract cancers. Digestive tract cancers have a lower incidence in India than in the so-called developed countries. An interesting observation is that the incidence is higher among urban Indians than in rural Indians, and similarly among those who migrated as compared to those who stayed behind in India.

Gall bladder cancer seems to have a much higher incidence in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa, West Bengal and Assam than in Southern states. The cancer is twice more common in women and is the leading cancer among digestive cancers in women in the northern Indian cities of Delhi and Bhopal. Immigrants from the northern states to Western countries also have a high incidence.

Breast cancer. As in my previous post Breast Cancer was the major infact the only topic I initiate. A sample of South Asian immigrant women in Toronto was found to have minimal knowledge of breast cancer and did not engage in breast cancer detection practices.
Parsi women have a fourfold higher rate of breast cancer than the general population in Bombay. Possible contributing factors are studied.

Thyroid cancer. In an international ranking, the incidence of thyroid cancer in both men and women was found to be lowest in Bombay. A descriptive epidemiology is presented
