你知道吗？美国肺癌发病率在各个族裔中都有下降，唯一例外的是亚裔，尤其是无抽烟史的亚裔女性群体。这背后的原因是什么？作为亚裔可以采取哪些预防保健措施来降低自身风险？

本次活动邀请的主讲是湾区Kaiser Permanente 的资深外科医生和肺癌专家Dr. Velotta，将从亚裔角度来剖析医疗系统里面存在的针对亚裔的隐性歧视，为亚裔移民科普患癌风险和癌症筛查指南，同时提供专家建议，帮助大家了解如何利用美国医疗系统来实现有效的预防保健措施。

Did you know that the incidence of lung cancer is decreasing in various groups, except for non-smoking Asian women? What could be the reasons behind this exception? What preventive healthcare measures can Asian women take to reduce their own risks?

The featured speaker for this event is a seasoned cancer surgeon from the Bay Area. Beginning with the high incidence of lung cancer among Asian women, the talk aims to raise awareness of cancer risks and screening guidelines for first-generation Asian female immigrants. Expert advice will be provided to help attendees understand how to effectively utilize the U.S. healthcare system for preventive healthcare measures.
