right now at 5:30, bay area researchers unraveling a medical mystery, lung cancer is the second most common cancer in both men and women in the u.s. >> that disease is now impacting more and more asian american women and doctors aren't sure why. a new bay area study found that 80% of asian american women with lung cancer never smoked and they're also 1 1/2 to two times more likely to be diagnosed than any other racial group. >> i got a chance to speak with the researchers and patients who are working to figure out what is going on. vicki ni doesn't take walks like there for granted. each step has a purpose. she's rarely by herself. if you happen to pass them, you might think these are just two friends catching up, but the

women who join her all share a common bond. they all have stage 4 lung cancer. >> living with stage 4 cancer means that you have, you know, a bomb strapped to your chest and it could go off at anytime. >> it all started five years ago when she got a call from her doctor. >> but i remember vividly he called me while we were out having dinner and left a voicemail. >> before she knew it, vicki was sitting in an oncologist's office. >> the word cancer comes out of the doctor's mouth, so that's kind of not good. >> vicki never smoked a day in her life, but yet this 48-year-old mother of two has stage 4 lung cancer. >> i was asking them. i'm like okay, so how long is treatment and when are we done with this and no one had told me up until then that it was stage 4. so it was incurable and so, you know,

i basically have to live with this condition the rest of my life and the best case scenario is that i live with this condition the rest of my life. >> vicki is now 53 and the treatments have been brutal. they've given her high blood pressure and high cholesterol. the cancer has now spread to her abdomen, but it's not the physical side effects that hurt the most. vicki has two daughters who were 13 and 15 when she was first diagnosed. >> they know that i have cancer and we don't talk about sort of staging. we don't talk about cures or anything like that. they just know that i've had cancer for five years now. >> a few years ago vicki was asked to participate in a research program at ucsf called fans standing for female asians never smokers launched 15 years

ago by dr. gomez and dr. chang, a first of its kind study in the u.s. on why lung cancer rates were rising among asian females who never smoked. >> lung cancer rates actually have been declining over the past several decades, but what was sort of emerged as an unusual observation is the exception to that trend was among asian american females. >> the doctors hoped the fans study leads to the development of more preventive measures and screening, but also grab the attention of the folks with the deep pockets. right now less than 1% of funding from the national institute of health goes to diseases that impact the asian american community. >> there is this perception that asians don't get sick. we have very low rates of disease. so nih's primary focus is to fund health research relies on those statistics. >> it's just made us very strong advocates to really give a voice to be able to speak out

about the need to look at specific asianette theft populations to give them representation, to provide the data. >> vicki isn't spending her energy wondering why or how she got lung cancer. >> well, when you get diagnosed with cancer, i think you learn to control the things that you can and let go of the things you can't and i have not tried to probe why i got cancer. i don't think it's like a healthy exercise. >> instead she's turning her pain into purpose by reaching out to other women like 34-year-old kit ho who she recruited to also be part of the fans study. >> if my tissue, my saliva can help the researchers to find more medicine or find more ways to identify people early, then i want to be part of it. >> kit was diagnosed on

thanksgiving of last year. doctors discovered four tumors in her brain that they believe were linked to lung cancer. just like vicki, she never smoked. she's also a mom. >> i was just thinking why did i get it? yeah. the most thing i was thinking when i was diagnosed was my two little kids because they are 2 and 4. lung cancer, being a nurse, i know it's not a good outcome. >> kit will often join vicki on her walks. they are allies in the same fight. >> it's like a safety blanket for me to know other people are in the area. >> if cancer has taught her anything, it's that life can change in an instant. vicki is focusing on the things that bring her joy, family, friends, and helping others know that even in their hardest moments they won't have to walk this path alone. >> i want to do everything i can to make this diagnosis sort

of meaningful for the world. >> now the fans study looks at a patient's genetics and family history as well as environmental and lifestyle exposures. they're still looking for participants to join the study, especially older asian women who do not have lung cancer. for more information on the fans study, just go to our website, kpix.com. hoping to stem the spread of bird flu in dairy cattle, the federal government is asking farmers for help and they're willing to play under a new plan where farmers could be compensated up to $28,000 to cover expenses related to the h5n1 virus. those could be costs from veterinary care, providing protective equipment for workers. that virus was first reported in more than a dozen u.s. poultry farms in 2022. since then it has spread among dairy cattle herds across nine states. recently a texas dairy worker developed mild symptoms of the disease but recovered. cbs news chief medical correspondent dr. jon lapook joined "cbs mornings" to
