Summary of key findings: cancer mortality patterns for AANHPI groups in relation to NHW. California, 2012–2017.

• NHOPIs have higher mortality for stomach, colorectal, liver, lung (males), breast, cervix, and endometrium cancer

• Southeast Asians have higher mortality for oral cavity and pharynx, nasopharynx (males), stomach, colorectal, liver, lung (males), and cervix cancer

• Vietnamese have higher mortality for nasopharynx (males), stomach, liver, and cervix cancer

• Koreans have higher mortality for stomach, colorectal (males), liver, and cervix cancer

• Chinese have higher mortality for nasopharynx, stomach, and liver cancer

• Filipinos have higher mortality for nasopharynx, liver, stomach (females), and cervix cancer

• Japanese have higher mortality for stomach and liver (females) cancer

• South Asians have a unique cancer mortality profile among AANHPIs, with the lowest mortality for all cancer sites combined, and significantly lower lung, colorectal, and pancreatic cancer mortality; for infection-related cancers (cervix-females, stomach, liver) which are typically high among AANHPIs, rates are significantly lower among South Asian males and equivalent between NHW and South Asian females
