The purpose of this paper is to describe the epidemiology of cancer in Vietnamese Americans and reviews some of the successful intervention strategies that have been accomplished in Northern California. FINDINGS: Preventable cancers are among the leading causes of death in Vietnamese Americans, who have higher than average rates of smoking and lower than average rates for breast and cervical cancer screening, and lower rates of hepatitis B vaccination. Communitybased intervention trials have shown good success in reducing these risk factors. CONCLUSIONS: Despite successes, more work needs to be done. Continuing research and dissemination of successful intervention strategies will help improve the health of Vietnamese Americans, one of the fastest growing populations in the U.S.
本文旨在描述美籍越南人的癌症流行病学情况，并回顾在北加利福尼亚已取得成效的一些成功干预策略。研究结果：可预防的癌症是美籍越南人主要的死亡原因之一，他们的吸烟率高于平均水平，乳腺癌和宫颈癌筛查率低于平均水平，乙肝疫苗接种率也较低。基于社区的干预试验在降低这些风险因素方面已取得良好成效。结论：尽管已取得成功，但仍需开展更多工作。持续的研究和成功干预策略的传播将有助于改善美籍越南人的健康状况，美籍越南人是美国增长最快的群体之一。
