Hallowell BD, et al. - Using data from the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics as well as the American Community Survey, researchers assessed cancer death rates for foreign vs US-born individuals in the US from 2005 to 2014. They found malignant cancers caused 5,670,535 deaths during this time; 9% of deaths were reported among foreign-born individuals. A 31% lower cancer mortality rate was reported among foreign-born individuals vs US-born individuals. On stratifying by sex, race/ethnicity, age, and geographic region, the results were comparable. Nasopharynx, Kaposi Sarcoma, stomach, gallbladder, acute lymphocytic leukemia, liver and intrahepatic bile duct, and thyroid cancers were the seven cancers sites for which significantly elevated cancer mortality rates were observed in foreign-born individuals. Of these seven cancers sites, five were infection-related. Via improved access to prevention, screening, and treatment services for immigrant populations in the US or in their country of origin, many of these deaths could be prevented.
