ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To characterize breast cancer (BC) incidence by age at diagnosis and BC subtype among disaggregated Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) women and non-Hispanic White (NHW) women in Hawai'i.METHODS:
Using 1990-2014 data from the Hawai'i tumor registry, we estimated age-adjusted incidence rates (AAIR) of BC and the annual percent change in BC incidence by age (<50 and ≥50 years) and BC subtype (hormone receptor [HR]+/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 [HER2]-, HR+/HER2+, HR-/HER2+, triple negative BC) for Filipino American (FA), Japanese American (JA), Native Hawaiian (NH), and NHW women.RESULTS:
Among young (<50 years) women, annual BC incidence increased 2.9% (1994-2014) among JA and 1.0% (1990-2014) among NHW women. Incidence was highest among young JA women (2010-2014 AAIR 52.0 per 100,000; 95% confidence interval [CI] 45.6, 58.9). HR+/HER2- BC, the major BC subtype, was similarly highest among young JA women (AAIR 39.5; 95% CI 33.9, 45.4). Among older (≥50 years) women, annual BC incidence increased 1.6% (1990-2014) among FA and 4.2% (2006-2014) for JA women. BC incidence was highest among older NH women (AAIR 137.6, 95% CI 128.2, 147.4), who also displayed highest incidence of two subtypes HR+/HER2- (AAIR 106.9; 95% CI 98.6, 115.5) and HR+/HER2+ (AAIR 12.1; 95% CI 9.4, 15.1).CONCLUSION:
We observed high and increasing BC incidence among JA women ages <50 years and high incidence among NH women ages ≥50 years. These results highlight racial and ethnic differences in BC incidence among disaggregated AANHPI populations in Hawai'i by age and BC subtype.Key words
