Breast cancer among Asian Indian and Pakistani Americans: A surveillance, epidemiology and end results-based study.

ABSTRACT: Breast cancer incidence is increasing among Asian Indian and Pakistani women living in the United States.

Disease characteristics, treatment and survival information between 2000 and 2016 for 4900 AIPA and 482 250 NHW cases diagnosed after age 18 were obtained from SEER 18 registries and compared using descriptive analyses and multivariable competing risk proportional hazards regression.
