The longer migrants live and adapt to their destination country, the more their cancer rates
converge towards those in that country. This has been shown for stomach, colon and

to be more prone to cancers that are related to infections experienced in early life, such as
liver, cervical and stomach cancer. In contrast, migrants of non-western origin were less
likely to suffer from cancers related to a western lifestyle, e.g. colorectal and breast cancer
(Arnold et al., 2010)....
