Abstract

Eighteen noteworthy manuscripts published between 1995 and 2002 were found in a literature search under the terms "Koreans" and "cancer." These articles cover a variety of subjects, from specific cancers to screening behaviors to religious and cultural influences, all of which should be considered in developing prevention and screening strategies.
