Epidemiology of non-small cell lung cancer in Asian Americans: incidence patterns among six subgroups by nativity.
J Thorac Oncol. 2008; (12): 1391-7
Differences in the epidemiology of lung cancer between Asians and non-Hispanic whites have brought to light the relative influences of genetic and environmental factors on lung cancer risk. We set out to describe the epidemiology of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) among Asians living in California, and to explore the effects of acculturation on lung cancer risk by comparing lung cancer rates between U.S.-born and foreign-born Asians.
