High-rate cancers among low-risk populations
Abstract:
A review of the tabular material at the Workshop on low-risk populations revealed that the rates were not consistently reduced for all forms of cancer. This report briefly discusses some high-rate tumors occurring among American ethnic and religious groups who are traditionally thought to have a low risk of cancer overall. In some groups experiencing a changing life-style, the rates for certain cancers are rising or falling toward the levels prevailing in the general U.S. population. By elucidating the high-risk and the low-risk states for various cancers in these population groups, one maximizes the opportunities for research in cancer etiology and prevention.
