Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patterns in Chinese migrants to British Columbia using data from 1980 to 1997.
- The incidence rate of NHL in migrants was found to be lower (7.11 per 100,000) compared to populations in Hong Kong (7.91) and British Columbia (11.88).
- Genetic factors likely play a larger role in the incidence of NHL in Chinese individuals, while some lymphoma subtypes may exhibit decreased rates due to environmental influences.
