该报告提供了西萨摩亚癌症发病率的第一批数据，西萨摩亚是世界上最大的波利尼西亚社区之一。发病率的估计是基于对1980年1月至1988年6月期间病理学实验室和医院记录中确定的癌症病例进行的系统回顾性调查。男女的总发病率都很低（年龄标准化发病率为每100 000人中男性93.7人，女性95.7人）。虽然可能遗漏了病例，但萨摩亚人的发病率似乎大大低于其他地方波利尼西亚人的发病率。值得注意的是，与烟草有关的癌症占男性所有癌症的不到17%，而其他波利尼西亚人则超过30%。胃癌仍然是男性最常见的癌症。在女性中，乳腺癌和宫颈癌同样常见，占所有癌症的近40%。肝癌更常见于男性，发病率略低于其他波利尼西亚人。在一些太平洋岛屿居民中看到的甲状腺癌高发病率在萨摩亚人中并没有看到。
This report presents the first data on cancer incidence in Western Samoa, which has one of the largest Polynesian communities in the world. Incidence estimates are based on a systematic retrospective survey of cancer cases identified in the laboratory of pathology, and from hospital records, for the period January 1980 to June 1988. The overall incidence rates are low in both sexes (age-standardized incidence rates are 93.7 for males and 95.7 per 100,000 for females). Although cases may have been missed, it seems likely that incidence rates among Samoans are substantially lower than those recorded in Polynesian populations elsewhere. It is notable that cancers related to tobacco are responsible for less than 17% of all cancers in males, compared to more than 30% in other Polynesians. Stomach cancer remains the most common cancer in males. In females, breast and cervix are equally common and make up almost 40% of all cancers. Liver cancer occurs more commonly in males, and the rates are slightly lower than those of other Polynesians. The high incidence of thyroid cancer seen in some Pacific Island populations is not seen among Samoans.
