Vietnamese American men have the highest liver cancer rate of any racial or ethnic group in the country. And Vietnamese Americans are less likely than other groups to get Pap tests, mammograms and other cancer screening exams.

In addition, the first Vietnamese-language hotline for cancer information will be unveiled. The conference will be conducted in Vietnamese.
