在这篇文章中，美国癌症协会（ACS）提供了对新发癌症病例和死亡人数的估计，并汇编了美国西班牙裔人口的健康统计数据。汇编的统计数据包括癌症发病率，死亡率和与癌症相关的行为，使用来自国家癌症研究所（NCI）监测，流行病学和最终结果（SEER）计划的最新发病率数据，来自国家卫生统计中心的死亡率数据，行为风险因素监测系统的行为信息（疾病控制和预防中心的行为风险因素监测系统[BRFSS]，青年风险行为监测系统[YRBSS]和国家健康访谈调查[NHIS]。据估计，2003年西班牙裔人将有67 400例新癌症病例和22 100例癌症死亡。与非西班牙裔白人相比，西班牙裔人所有癌症的发病率和死亡率以及四种最常见的癌症（乳腺癌、前列腺癌、肺癌和支气管癌以及结肠癌和直肠癌）的发病率和死亡率都较低。然而，西班牙裔人胃癌、肝癌、宫颈癌和胆囊癌的发病率和死亡率较高，这部分反映了他们接触特定传染源的程度较高，宫颈癌筛查率较低，以及饮食模式和可能的遗传因素。降低拉美裔人癌症风险的战略包括进一步制定有效的干预措施，以增加筛查和体育活动，减少烟草使用和肥胖，以及开发和应用有效的疫苗。
In this article, the American Cancer Society (ACS) provides estimates on the number of new cancer cases and deaths, and compiles health statistics on the US Hispanic population. The compiled statistics include cancer incidence, mortality, and behaviors relevant to cancer using the most recent data on incidence from the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics, and behavioral information from the Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System [BRFSS], Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System [YRBSS], and National Health Interview Survey [NHIS].) An estimated 67,400 new cases of cancer and 22,100 cancer deaths will occur among Hispanics in 2003. Hispanics have lower incidence and death rates from all cancers combined and from the four most common cancers (breast, prostate, lung and bronchus, and colon and rectum) than non-Hispanic whites. However, Hispanics have higher incidence and mortality rates from cancers of the stomach, liver, uterine cervix, and gallbladder, reflecting in part greater exposure to specific infectious agents and lower rates of screening for cervical cancer, as well as dietary patterns and possible genetic factors. Strategies for reducing cancer risk among Hispanics include further development of effective interventions to increase screening and physical activity, reductions in tobacco use and obesity, and the development and application of effective vaccines.
