UNASSIGNED: Survival from @entity356 in the USA still lags behind Asia. Genetic, environmental, and @entity5 biology differences, along with extent of surgery have been implicated. Our aim was to evaluate survival outcomes in Asian-American @entity356 @entity1 undergoing surgical resection by comparing place of birth and clinicopathologic characteristics (including evaluation of 15 lymph nodes).The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was queried to identify @entity1 treated surgically for @entity356 with curative intent in the USA (2000-2010). US-born versus foreign-born Asian-American @entity1 were analyzed for survival. Secondary comparison was made to non-Asian @entity1 . Stage IV and non-surgical @entity1 were excluded. Of 10,089 @entity1 identified, 1467 @entity1 were Asian: 271 were born in the USA, and 1196 were born outside the USA. Median survival was 32  months for non-Asians and 29  months for US-born Asians versus 61  months for Asian immigrants (p   <   0.001). On multivariable analysis of overall survival in Asian @entity1 , only US birthplace, older age, and higher stage yielded a significantly poorer outcome. Asian-American @entity1 have a worse prognosis if born in the USA. Anatomic and surgical differences do not explain this disparity; environmental factors may be responsible.
