Abstract
Cancer incidence in 1990-92 among English south Asian (residents with ethni
c origins in India, Pakistan or Bangladesh) and non-south Asian children is
compared, Standardized incidence ratios show significant overall excesses
in south Asians (131), largely due to higher rates in south Asian boys, and
specific excesses for leukaemia (141), lymphoid leukaemia (141), lymphoma
(172) and hepatic tumours (375). Aetiological investigation is required. (C
