Much of the early scholarship in Asian American studies sought to establish that Asian Americans have been crucial to the making of the US nation and thus deserve full inclusion into its polity. This emphasis on inclusion affirms the status of the United States as the ultimate protector and provider of human welfare, and narrates the Asian American subject by modern civil rights discourse. However, the comparative cases of Filipino immigrants and Vietnamese refugees show how Asian American racial formation has been determined not only by the social, economic, and political forces in the United States but also by US colonialism, imperialism, and wars in Asia.

Metabolic Alterations

There are 15.5 million cancer survivors in the United States because of, in part, improvements in therapy. As a result, there will be an increased burden of long- and late-term complications of cancer care, such as metabolic alterations. These metabolic changes will include alterations in bone resorption, obesity, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes mellitus. The majority of cancer treatment–related toxicities have focused on endocrine therapy; however, chemotherapy and supportive medications, such as steroids, contribute to the development of these disorders. Because of the chronicity of these metabolic changes and their impact on morbidity, cancer risk, and outcomes as well other negative effects, including musculoskeletal pain and vasomotor symptoms, alternative strategies must be developed. These strategies should include nonpharmacologic approaches. Here, we summarize metabolic changes secondary to cancer care and integrative approaches to help alleviate therapy-associated toxicities.
