ACS releases infographic in multiple languages

​In May 2024, ACS launched the inaugural Cancer Facts & Figures for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Other Pacific Islander People, 2024-2026. The report shows cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the United States nationally but ranks first in Chinese, Filipino, Korean, and Vietnamese individuals, with lung cancer the leading cause of death in men of every Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Other Pacific Islander (AANHPI) ethnic group. 

For women, the report also shows lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women who are Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Native Hawaiian. In Guamanian, Samoan, Filipino, and Asian Indian women, breast cancer ranks first. 

At the time of the report, an infographic highlighting key cancer statistics for disaggregated Asian American and Pacific Islander ethnic groups in the United States was released in English. ACS recently released the infographic in Simplified Chinese, Tagalog, Hawaiian, and Hindi. By providing this infographic in multiple languages, ACS aims to ensure that culturally and linguistically diverse AANHPI communities have access to vital cancer information. Increasing awareness and understanding can help promote early detection, encourage preventive care, and reduce health disparities impacting these communities. 

The infographics can be accessed on cancer.org​. (Please utilize the drop-down menu to select the language you desire.) ​
