Disaggregating Hispanic American cancer mortality burden by detailed ethnicity

Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention Jun 06, 2019

Zamora SM, et al. - Researchers focused on cancer mortality burden across Hispanic groups in the US, considering non-Hispanic whites (NHWs) as the reference population. A total of 287,218 deaths among Hispanics and 4,570,559 among NHWs were attributable to cancer. Across Hispanic groups, marked heterogeneity in cancer mortality was evident. Hispanics vs NHWs were disproportionately affected by various cancers. For every Hispanic group, but not for NHWs, liver cancer was ranked among the top 5 for cancer-associated deaths. Deaths due to stomach cancer were twice as high for most Hispanic groups vs NHWs, and Mexicans particularly had high stomach cancer mortality. Thus, screening for stomach and liver cancer in Hispanics is recommended.
