Indian and Chinese immigrants both showed significantly lower stage I and stage II-IV incidence rates compared to non-immigrants. However, Indian immigrants showed a higher frequency of later stage tu...
Our findings highlight a need for continued surveillance of cancer among immigrant and non-immigrant populations and inquiry into reasons for differences in stage at diagnosis across groups....
Immigrant health discussions often focus on acculturation and omit discussions on historical events that may underlie health differences among immigrant older adults. This paper provides a historical ...
