Lung Cancer Rates Increasing Among Asian American Non-Smoking Women

Lung Cancer in WomenLung cancer is a rising concern among men and women all around the world. In the recent times, it has been found that lung cancer rates are dropping for every group except non-smoking Asian American women. In fact, rates are actually increasing for this group who have never smoked. Although lung cancer is traditionally associated with cigarettes, but as many as 20% of U.S. cases happen in non-smokers every year. Asian American women who have lung cancer, over 50% of them have never smoked. Also, for Chinese and Indian American, this percentage rises to 80% to 90%.

According to a California study, for nonsmoking Asian American women, the lung cancer rates are actually increasing by 2% per year. This pattern has baffled the scientists and led to a recent urge for research. A study of about 4000 non-smoking women found that the share of Asian American women who have lung cancer was more than twice in comparison to white women. Earlier, the NYU researchers had shared preliminary data showing that lung cancer screening in non-smokers Asian American women works as well.

These figures are raising alarm about the increasing number of lung cancer cases in this segment. The researchers are working to reform the screening guidelines to better include Asian American women.

Lung cancer screening reportedly falls short for nonsmoking Asian American women due to guidelines tailored for heavy smoking histories and trials predominantly involve elderly white women. The inadequacy of research funding also hinders progress. More studies, research work and regular lung cancer screening need to be performed to help curb this deadly disease.
