Bridging the gap: Addressing gastric cancer disparities among Korean Americans through insights from South Korea
Gastric cancer remains a significant global health problem, with high-risk minority populations disproportionately affected. For instance, Korean Americans (ages 50 and older) demonstrate a 12- to 14.5-fold higher risk of noncardiac gastric cancer compared with non-Hispanic White people.1 While the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) has issued conditional recommendations for gastric cancer screening in high-risk populations, neither the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) nor the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) currently endorse such screening.
