Disaggregated Colorectal Cancer Mortality among Asian American Subgroups between 2005 and 2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in Asian Americans. Asian Americans are a diverse, heterogeneous population composed of groups with differing cancer risk factors. Few prior studies have analyzed colorectal cancer mortality by disaggregated Asian racial subgroup.
