Targeting Stomach Cancer Prevention
for Asian Americans
A new cancer study among Asian Americans profiled in Time Magazine reveals specific ethnic groups face higher rates of cancer. Researchers looked at over 85,500 cancer-related deaths between 2003 to 2011 from the National Center for Health Statistics. They found stomach cancer rates differ among Asian American ethnic groups and concluded that Asian Americans would greatly benefit from ethnically-targeted prevention efforts.
