Among Chinese Americans, Stomach Cancer is experienced at a much higher rate - about two times the rate than that of non-hispanic white men and women. Stomach Cancer among Asian Americans is generally known to be caused by H. Pylori, a bacteria that is found in the digestive tract. H. Pylori can sometimes break the barrier of the stomach lining and attack it, which can lead to cancer of the stomach. Please be aware that this is NOT the case for everyone but it thought to be the cause of why many Asian Americans experience Stomach Cancer at a higher rate.
