Dear Jackie, See, for example: Smith, L. K., Botha, J. L., Benghiat, A. & Steward, W. P. (2003) Latest trends in cancer incidence among UK South Asians in Leicester, British Journal of Cancer, 89, pp. 70–73. who suggest that ‘although older South Asians had much lower rates of cancer than the rest of the population, younger South Asians were at increased risk compared with non-South Asians’ (p. 70)... and that 'over the last 10 years cancer rates have increased among South Asians while they have been falling among the rest of the population’ (p. 72). And also of interest, but with a broader focus: Harding, S. (2003) Mortality of migrants from the Indian Subcontinent to England and Wales: effect of duration of residence, Epidemiology, 14, pp. 287–292. which suggests that rates of cancer mortality increase with duration of residence.
