Diverse Asian American Groups Show Varying Pancreatic Cancer Survival Rates

This study delves into pancreatic cancer outcomes in the disaggregated Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) population, which is often underrepresented in scientific research. Analyzing data from 296,448 patients, it reveals that AANHPI patients, as a whole, exhibited better median survival than Caucasians and African Americans. Notably, survival rates varied among AANHPI subpopulations, with Asian Indians having the highest median survival and the Japanese subpopulation the lowest. The research highlights the significance of disaggregated data to address disparities in cancer care.
