In recent years, there has been a significant growth and expansion of research in cancer control and survivorship with Asian American populations. This special issue highlights seven articles as examples of how research can inform evidence-based programs to improve cancer screening behaviors, patient–provider communication during clinical encounters, and the delivery of supportive care. This special issue demonstrates the importance of understanding the cultural, social, and structural factors contributing to cancer-related disparities within the Asian American population and addressing these factors in interventions. Recommendations are provided to inform future multifaceted strategy and multilevel interventions to effectively improve cancer control and survivorship outcomes in this population.
