Although Korean Americans are diagnosed at an earlier stage than other racial/ ethnic groups in the United States, they are diagnosed at a later stage compared with those in South Korea, where &gt;70% of screening-eligible adults are adherent to the bi-annual gastric cancer screening guidelines. We conducted a pilot survey to characterize patterns of endoscopy use among Korean American and NHW gastric cancer patients.</p> ER -
