“Hispanic Americans have a unique cancer risk profile that requires a targeted approach to cancer prevention, according to an American Cancer Society report released Wednesday.
The report, titled Cancer Facts & Figures for Hispanics/Latinos 2006-2008, notes that Hispanic Americans are less likely than non-Hispanic whites to develop and die from the four most common cancers (female breast, prostate, colorectal and lung), but have higher rates of some other kinds of cancer and are more likely to have cancer detected at a later stage than whites.”
