“…Although incidence rates for Latinos of specific origins could not be calculated, the data on screening and known cancer risk factors among specific Latino groups suggest several general points: first, not all Hispanic populations in the U.S. are alike; 67 second, data reported from various studies on Hispanic populations may not be comparable if the underlying Hispanic populations do not share the same origins, cultural traditions, and immigration status; [68][69][70][71][72] and third, collection of specific Hispanic origin needs to be increased in general population and demographic statistics as well as in the records of persons diagnosed and dying from cancer. 68,73 The cancer incidence data reported here on 90% of U.S. Latinos mirror findings of many other studies on various Latino groups or areas, 45,68,71,[74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81] with a few exceptions.

BACKGROUNDThe American Cancer Society, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Cancer Institute, and North American Association of Central Cancer Registries collaborate annually to provide U.S. cancer information, this year featuring the first comprehensive compilation of cancer information for U.S. Latinos.METHODSCancer incidence was obtained from 90% of the Hispanic/Latino and 82% of the U.S. populations. Cancer deaths were obtained for the entire U.S. population. Cancer screening, risk factor, incidence, and mortality data were compiled for Latino and non‐Latino adults and children (incidence only). Long‐term (1975–2003) and fixed‐interval (1995–2003) trends and comparative analyses by disease stage, urbanicity, and area poverty were evaluated.RESULTSThe long‐term trend in overall cancer death rates, declining since the early 1990s, continued through 2003 for all races and both sexes combined. However, female lung cancer incidence rates increased from 1975 to 2003, decelerating since 1991 and breast cancer incidence rates stabilized from 2001 to 2003. Latinos had lower incidence rates in 1999–2003 for most cancers, but higher rates for stomach, liver, cervix, and myeloma (females) than did non‐Latino white populations. Latino children have higher incidence of leukemia, retinoblastoma, osteosarcoma, and germ‐cell tumors than do non‐Latino white children. For several common cancers, Latinos were less likely than non‐Latinos to be diagnosed at localized stages.CONCLUSIONSThe lower cancer rates observed in Latino immigrants could be sustained by maintenance of healthy behaviors. Some infection‐related cancers in Latinos could be controlled by evidence‐based interventions. Affordable, culturally sensitive, linguistically appropriate, and timely access to cancer information, prevention, screening, and treatment are important in Latino outreach and community networks.

“…However, these declines have not eliminated racial and ethnic disparities in invasive cervical cancer incidence rates. Those studies analyzing incidence rates by race/ethnicity have repeatedly documented disparities, showing 2-fold higher rates for African-Americans [2][3][4][5] and 2-to 3-fold higher rates for Hispanic whites [6][7][8][9] compared to non-Hispanic whites. These differences are primarily due to differences in the utilization of cervical cancer screening and follow-up of abnormal results by race/ethnicity.…”

“…Such cancers include gallbladder and gastric cancer. 99 Although obtaining data on the fraction of the population with Hispanic heritage at the state level is easy, doing so at the SEA level is harder. Thus, where lack of such data might affect the outcome, the UVB doses were restricted to those with 7.5 kJ/m 2 or less.…”

A recent pooled analysis of prediagnostic serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels and cancer incidence in the Cohort Consortium Vitamin D Polling Project of Rarer Cancers (VDPP) study failed to find a beneficial role in reducing the risk of any of seven types of rarer cancer: endometrial, esophageal, gastric, kidney, ovarian and pancreatic cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). 1 However, considerable evidence exists, largely from ecological studies, that solar ultraviolet-B (UVB) irradiance and vitamin D reduce the risk of incidence and/or death from many types of cancer, including those that the VDPP study addressed. Ecological studies finding inverse correlations between indices for solar UVB and the rarer types of cancer as well as breast, colon and rectal cancer are listed in Table 1. Because similar findings have emerged for several different populations and no effect of solar UVB other than vitamin D production has been proposed, the ecological studies strongly support the UVB-vitamin D-cancer hypothesis. [37][38][39] No other factor other than vitamin D production has been proposed to explain the results of many ecological studies. In addition to many ecological studies, several good observational studies of prediagnostic serum 25(OH)D level and incidence for breast and colorectal cancer have developed dose-response relations. [40][41][42][43] Also, a recent No factor associated with solar UVB irradiance other than vitamin D has been suggested as a cancer risk-reduction factor, although solar radiation regulation of melatonin production seems to be involved in breast cancer, with benefits occurring largely in winter when there are fewer hours of sunlight. 53One reason why the VDPP study may have failed to find a beneficial effect of serum 25(OH)D level is that the study included very few cases with higher serum 25(OH)D levels; the 95% confidence intervals of the odds ratios were much larger than the anticipated risk reduction. Inspection of Figure 1 in reference 1 indicates that if lines were drawn across the graphs starting with the upper limit of the error bar for 25(OH)D <25 nmol/L and keeping the line within the error bars, there was generally at least a 50% reduction for >100 nmol/L compared to the value at <25 nmol/L.
