Age-specific incidence rates in Asian/Pacific Islander (API) and non-Hispanic white (white) and Asian-to-white incidence rate ratios of female invasive breast cancer according to subtype in the United States between 2010 and 2016. Case numbers (≥20 years) were 29 875 and 247 529 for estrogen-receptor-positive, 6461 and 38 954 for HER2-positive, 3121 and 27 149 for triple-negative, and 11 614 and 80 297 for histological grade III breast cancer subtypes among APIs and whites, respectively. CI = confidence interval.
