1.Resources and Methods for studying cancer in Asian Americans -- 2.Cancer Incidence and Mortality Patterns among Chinese Americans -- 3.Cancer Incidence and Mortality among Filipinos in the United States and the Philippines: Patterns and Trends -- 4.Cancer Screening Among Asian Americans -- 5.Lung Cancer in Asian Americans -- 6.Colorectal Cancer among Asian Americans -- 7.Prostate Cancer in Asian Americans -- 8.Breast Cancer among Asian Americans -- 9.Endometrial Cancer among Asian Americans -- 10.Liver Cancer in Asian Americans -- 11.Gastric Cancer in Asian Americans -- 12.Cervical Cancer In Asian Americans.

Cancer Epidemiology in Asian Americans is a comprehensive volume that provides the most current research on cancer etiology within this fast growing population sub-group in the United States. The book explores epidemiologic methods that are typically used in migrant studies, providing descriptive epidemiology of cancer patterns separately in Chinese, Japanese, Filipino and other Asian ethnic groups including Asian Indians, Koreans, Vietnamese, and other Southeast Asians. A major focus of the volume provides reviews of analytic risk factors for specific cancer sites including lung, colorectal, prostate, breast, liver and more. These chapters aim to explain the increases or decreases in incidence rates of various cancers upon migration, paying attention to changing risk factor prevalence, the importance of timing of exposures, and other co-factors important in the etiology of these cancers. Genetic determinants and gene-environment relationships associated with specific cancers are also discussed.. This first of its kind volume that is devoted to studies of cancer in Asian Americans provides a foundation to better understanding of environmental and lifestyle causes of cancer in this group, identifying gaps in our knowledge, and potential strategies for prevention.
