Breast cancer is surging among Asian American women — and scientists don’t

Breast cancer is rising rapidly among Asian American women, with some of the most alarming increases occurring in younger women and in aggressive or advanced cancers. Researchers say screening alone can't explain the surge, suggesting important risk factors may still be undiscovered. The key issue is evidence: what the device measures, how reliable the measurement is, who can safely use it, and where medical guidance is still needed.
