Cancer patterns in Hmong in Minnesota, 2000 to 2012

Cancer Jul 12, 2018

Oyenuga M, et al. - Researchers used the Minnesota Cancer Surveillance System to calculate the cancer frequency among Hmong individuals in Minnesota between 2000 and 2012 to find targets for screening and interventions. They used the 2000 and 2010 US Census reports to obtain total population estimates. They used direct method and Poisson regression to compute age-adjusted cancer incidence rates (AAR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for Hmong individuals, Asian/Pacific Islander individuals, and all Minnesotans. They reported an increased incidence of cancers related to infectious agents among the Hmong, relative to all Minnesotans, including nasopharyngeal, stomach, liver, and cervical cancers, and significantly lower rates for all-cause cancer cancers of the breast, lung, and colorectum, melanoma, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
