Abstract
This article addresses the persistent disparities in breast cancer outcomes across different racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups despite advancements in diagnosis and treatment. The disparities are rooted in various factors, including access to care, socioeconomic status, and cultural barriers. The article emphasizes the need for targeted interventions, such as expanding insurance coverage, mobile mammography units, and culturally tailored outreach programs to promote health equity. Achieving this requires comprehensive strategies addressing systemic and social determinants of health.
本文论述了尽管诊断和治疗方面取得了进步，但不同种族、民族和社会经济群体在乳腺癌治疗效果方面仍然存在差距。这些差异源于各种因素，包括获得治疗的机会、社会经济地位和文化障碍。文章强调，有必要采取有针对性的干预措施，如扩大保险覆盖面、设立流动乳腺 X 光检查站、开展针对不同文化背景的外展项目等，以促进健康公平。要做到这一点，需要采取综合战略，解决系统性和社会性的健康决定因素。
