Study Links Birthplace and Cancer Risk Among Hispanic All of Us Participants
Scientists used All of Us data to study cancer risk in participants who self-report as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish. Liver cancer rates were twice as high in Hispanic participants born outside of the United States, showing that place of birth is an important consideration for understanding cancer risk.
