Summary
In 1993, The Cancer Council NSW published a report called Common cancers in migrants to NSW in
1972 to 1990 (1). This new report follows that theme by describing the incidence of cancer in NSW for
the subsequent period 1991 to 2001 by place of birth. It describes the incidence of the 20 most common
cancers for the 25 most common places of birth in NSW.
The report uses data abstracted from the NSW Central Cancer Registry along with incidence data from
the International Agency for Research on Cancer’s GLOBOCAN databases to compare incidence in
migrants to Australia to both Australian-born people and to people still resident in their respective
places of birth.
