Breast cancer is surging among Asian American women — and scientists don’t know why
A UC San Francisco study revealed a significant rise in invasive breast cancer among Asian American women over the past two decades, with rates increasing by over 3% annually across nearly all ethnic groups. The trend is particularly alarming among women under 50, especially those with aggressive forms like triple-negative breast cancer, which saw a rise of over 6% annually from 2017 to 2022. This underscores the need for tailored healthcare strategies for these populations.
