    Author: Visser O, van der Kooy K, van Peppen AM, Ory FG, van Leeuwen FE.
    Journal: Br J Cancer; 2004 Jun 01; 90(11):2135-7. PubMed ID: 15150560.
    Abstract:
    We investigated breast cancer incidence in migrants in the Netherlands in 1988-1998. The standardised incidence ratio for breast cancer in Northwest-Netherlands was statistically significantly reduced for women born in Surinam (0.56), Turkey (0.29) and Morocco (0.22). The proportion of women with advanced stages (III and IV) did not differ significantly between migrants and women born in the Netherlands.
