虽然菲律宾人是美国第二大亚裔群体，但对他们的癌症发病率知之甚少。我们研究了1972年至1991年间居住在洛杉矶县的菲律宾人的癌症发病率，并评估了他们相对于非西班牙裔白人患非局部癌症的风险。尽管在洛杉矶县，菲律宾人患癌症的几率比非西班牙裔白人低得多，但他们患肝癌、鼻咽癌和甲状腺癌的几率却更高。菲律宾男性和女性在诊断时平均比非西班牙裔白人有更多的晚期癌症，尽管在早期检测方法存在的地方没有观察到统计学上的显著差异。我们的数据表明，菲律宾裔美国人将受益于增加宫颈癌和乳腺癌筛查，以及努力阻断乙型肝炎病毒的传播，以减少肝癌发病率。(C) 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc。
Although Filipinos are the second largest Asian subgroup in the United States, little is known about their patterns of cancer incidence. We have examined cancer incidence rates among Filipinos living in Los Angeles County from 1972 through 1991 and evaluated their risk of non-localized cancer relative to non-Hispanic whites. Although Filipinos have substantially lower cancer rates than non-Hispanic whites in Los Angeles County, their incidence rates of liver cancer, cancer of the nasopharynx and thyroid cancer are higher. Filipino men and women had somewhat more advanced cancer at diagnosis, on average, than non-Hispanic whites, though no statistically significant differences were observed for sites where early detection methods exist. Our data suggest that Filipino-Americans would benefit from increased screening for cervical and breast cancer as well as efforts to interrupt transmission of hepatitis B virus to reduce liver cancer incidence.
