Asian Americans may be seven times higher, which will be diagnosed with certain cancers, according to the American Cancer Society and Melissa McCracken, first author of a study on cancer rates in the Asian population in the United States, published earlier this week in California, a magazine for cancer doctors.
Although Asian Americans have a lower incidence of cancer than other ethnic groups in the United States, the disease remains a leading cause of death for the group and makes it moreDied of heart disease. The stomach and liver, for example, are much more frequent presence in Asia in the United States.
This is a serious public health for the country, with so many immigrants who can be treated each year in which many people lack health insurance and communication skills effectively, and some of them are pathogenic bacteria and viruses -- that cancer - rare in the UP while he was still a small minority in Texas, with approximately 4% orabout 850,000 in the U.S. population of Asian origin in the state increases, especially in cities like Dallas and Houston.
McCracken reported cases in California 2000-2004 is based, and focuses on five ethnic groups - Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese - in all sub-groups and will be analyzed individually and compared to many Asians are living in ON The study shows that Asian Americansrecognizable pattern of tumors, new immigrants tend to show patterns that more closely with their homeland, and that the longer a person is in the United States, the more likely he or she is cancer is more common here, such as cancer colon and breast cancer development.
Koreans, five to seven times more likely to develop cancer of the stomach of white non-Hispanic, and Vietnamese men are seven times more likely to be diagnosed and liver cancer. Filipino women have thehighest mortality rate for breast cancer among all Asian women, and almost as frequently diagnosed as Caucasians. Filipino men have the highest rate of prostate cancer in men of Asian origin and are at eye level with the women, the incidence of breast cancer in the Philippines, about 125 per 100,000 population. Vietnamese women and Korean display the highest rates of cancer of the cervix and the lowest rates of Pap test. Japanese-Americans, the rates of colorectal, stomach, prostate and breast cancer, allincreases.
About 80% of liver cancer occur in developing countries, in particular bacterial or viral infections untreated. Fifty percent of these cases are only in China. Rates stomach breathtaking and liver cancer in Vietnamese and Korean, the population of the United States can be determined, in part to return to Asia, where hepatitis B is endemic. Chronic infections of the disease are a major cause of liver cancer there, and new immigrants have similar rates of homeCountry. Foods rich in nitrates and nitrites, often in Korean cuisine are also thought to be at fault.
McCracken, an epidemiologist at the company warned doctors and the public is more aware of the problem, when the circumstances which could lead to higher mortality rates associated with these can be avoided. Appropriate procedures, improve access to health insurance and health care, sensitivity to immigration issues - including the possibility ofbacterial or viral infection may only rarely in the United States - and to make efforts to reduce accompanied by language barriers and cultural differences, all would be helpful.
"(The group of people of Asian-American) is homogeneous. Doctors are aware of their capacity and really need the attention of pathogens of cancer, not just typical chronic diseases."
Adopt healthier lifestyles from Asian countries, such as Asians to take unhealthyAmerican practice, it also seems a lower incidence of cancer for all ethnic groups. The risk of many cancers increases with obesity, physical inactivity, alcohol consumption and high-fat diet and low in whole grains, fruits and vegetables. As an immigrant to their environment, their habits, of course, often slowly become like their host countries. Asian-Americans and more American habits, then adopted, the rates of certain cancers are rising slowly.
Genetics can obviously play a role.Dr. Regina Santella, professor of environmental health and computer science at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University, points to connect to lung cancer with a specific gene that increases the chances of something smoking lung cancer - a serious problem in Texas. Not all smokers develop the disease, but even if the conditions are similar, or worse, for those who smoke. But exposure to toxins, including cigarette smoking, are also factors that are not ignored, itwarns.
With the impressive array of statistics on an impressive number of health problems is not difficult to scan the morning paper and immediately his opposition delicious donuts, sit, of course, with a cup of coffee, caffeine, very sweet. "Oh, everything causes cancer in any case," we complain, and go about our days. However, general information, is perhaps as important as the features, perhaps even more on the mass of the population. The truth is thatMcCracken study reveals a very important thing that many - the onset of the disease, has increased dramatically, including the deadly cancer, so we will not take care of her. Poor diet and physical inactivity and exposure to certain toxins, were the main culprits - life is not in general. To read on health, put a couple of teaspoons of sugar into a cup of coffee and eat, for God's sake, fresh fruit.
