Cancer Screening Among Asian Americans

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Cancer screening tests such as mammograms, Pap smears, and colonoscopies can help detect cancer at an early stage, before symptoms appear. Some screening tests such as colonoscopy and Pap smears can also detect precancerous abnormal tissue, which if removed can prevent the occurrence of cancer. Generally, the earlier cancer is detected, the easier it is to treat. Survival and mortality outcomes are also much better for cancer detected at an early versus late stage. However, in addition to benefits, some screening tests carry risks, and finding the cancer early does not always improve the person’s health or help the person live longer [1].

This chapter will examine the utilization of cancer screening tests among selected Asian American ethnic groups and describe the research on factors that are associated with screening. We will give examples of interventions to promote cancer screening that have been tested in Asian American populations and summarize both the scientific knowledge and research gaps regarding cancer screening. The chapter will close with recommendations and next steps for research and practice on cancer screening among Asian Americans.
