According to the American Cancer Society, cancer is the second leading cause of death among Hispanic people, accounting for 17% of deaths. Compared with non-Hispanic Whites, Hispanic men and women are:

* Less likely to be diagnosed with the most common cancers: lung, colorectal, breast, and prostate.

* More likely to develop cancer in the liver, stomach, and cervix. These cancers are linked with infectious agents, such as HPV, and are largely preventable.
