Epidemiological studies of migrants have played an important role in evaluating the environmental and genetic components of cancer aetiology. Italian regions were grouped into five areas: North-West, North-East, Central, South and Lombardia. Incidences of cancer in migrants from South and North-East of Italy, in the province of Varese, have been compared with the incidence of Lombardia-born population, using data collected from the Cancer Registry of Lombardia for 12 years (1976-1987). Incidence comparisons were made using the Standardized Incidence Ratio (SIR). Subjects emigrated from the North-East show SIR higher than the Lombardia-born for lung and oesophageal cancer (smoking and alcohol related cancers). SIR for lip and nasopharyngeal cancers were higher in South-born. Cancer of breast, stomach and colon have low SIRs in subjects migrated from the South and, to a even lower extent, in subjects migrated from the North-East. Several others cancers tended, in general, to have lower rates in migrants from South than in native-born in Lombardia.
