More Hispanic Texans die from cancer than any other cause, according to a new report. The report documents cancer as the leading cause of death among Hispanic Texans under the age of 76. Only three percent of Hispanic Texans are older than 75. Texas's Hispanic population has more than doubled since 1990, and Texans of Hispanic ethnicity now comprise 38 percent of the state's population.
