南太平洋委员会癌症登记处自1977年以来一直在运作，并提供了新喀里多尼亚、斐济、密克罗尼西亚、库克群岛和纽埃相当完整的癌症发病率。此外，美属萨摩亚、巴布亚新几内亚和法属波利尼西亚的报告也不太完整。肺癌、口腔癌、食道癌、肝癌和宫颈癌是可以预防的，但在许多太平洋岛屿国家很普遍。斐济的许多癌症发病率异常低，最显著的是肺癌和结肠直肠癌。甲状腺癌的发病率在一些但不是所有女性人群中升高。这些和其他癌症部位的变化是进一步研究的重要领域。
The South Pacific Commission Cancer Registry has been operational since 1977, and reasonably complete cancer incidence rates are available for New Caledonia, Fiji, Micronesia, the Cook Islands, and Niue. In addition, less complete reporting is available from American Samoa, Papua New Guinea, and French Polynesia. Cancers of the lung, oral cavity, esophagus, liver, and cervix are potentially preventable but prevalent in many Pacific island countries. Unusually low rates of many cancers were observed in Fiji, the most notable being lung and colon-rectum. Thyroid cancer rates are elevated in some but not all female populations. These and other variations in cancer by site are important areas for further research.
