88% Informative

About 11,000 Asian American and Pacific Islander women were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021 and about 1,500 died.

The rate of new breast cancer cases among AAPI women under 50 grew by about 52% from 2000 through 2021 .

Researchers are racing to find out why it is occuring within this ethnically diverse group.

Trend may be related to Asian immigrants adopting some lifestyles that put them at higher risk.

Only a tiny fraction of NIH funding is devoted to researching cancer among Asian Americans , expert says.

Trend has created years of anguish for many patients, including Asian American women who were diagnosed with breast cancer.
