Abstract
Objectives: To investigate factors that influence breast cancer survival and to determine whether these factors influence breast cancer survival of First Nations women of Ontario differently as compared to the general population.
Study design: Literature review.
Methods: The review searched MEDLINE, PubMed, PsychInfo, and Za-geh-do-win Information Clearinghouse.
Results: Five broad factors were determined to influence breast cancer survival: access to health care; stage at diagnosis and stage of appropriate treatment; co-morbidity; genetic variation; and diet and lifestyle.
Conclusion: This analysis proposes that there may be factors that influence breast cancer survival differently for First Nations women of Ontario compared to other Ontario women. A further understanding of these factors can be used to advocate for changes to reduce the inequalities and improve the quality of life of First Nations women with cancer.
目的:调查影响乳腺癌生存的因素，并确定这些因素对安大略省第一民族妇女乳腺癌生存的影响是否与一般人群不同。研究设计:文献回顾。方法:检索MEDLINE、PubMed、PsychInfo和Za-geh-do-win Information Clearinghouse。结果:确定了影响乳腺癌生存的五大因素:获得医疗保健;诊断阶段和适当治疗阶段;伴随疾病;遗传变异;饮食和生活方式。结论:该分析表明，可能存在影响安大略省第一民族妇女乳腺癌生存的因素，与其他安大略省妇女相比有所不同。对这些因素的进一步了解可以用来倡导改变，以减少不平等，提高患癌症的第一民族妇女的生活质量。
