“In a new publication, we report on updated 20+ year (2000-2022) breast cancer incidence trends in disaggregated Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander groups.
Rates have been increasing at a rate of more than 3% per year in nearly all Asian American ethnic groups, and is especially pronounced for females aged less than 50 years, with advanced stages of disease, and with hormone receptor-positive and ERBB2 (formerly HER2/neu)-negative and triple-negative subtypes.”
