Abstract

Purpose of review: The purpose of this review is to discuss disparities in breast health care access and outcomes related to race, gender, cultural diversity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, geographic location, and disability. The authors recognize the complexity of eliminating inequalities in health care but are optimistic that all patients will one day have equal access to care through dialogue, acknowledgment, recognition, and action.

Recent findings: After lung cancer, breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among American women. Mammography as a preventative screening tool has resulted in significant reductions in breast cancer mortality. Despite existing breast cancer recommendations, it has been projected that 43,250 women will die from breast cancer in 2022.

Summary: Disparities in healthcare outcomes exist for many reasons including inequalities based on race, gender, cultural diversity, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. Disparities, no matter how large or complex, are not insurmountable.

审查目的：本审查的目的是讨论与种族、性别、文化多样性、性取向、社会经济地位、地理位置和残疾相关的乳腺保健机会和结果的差异。作者认识到消除医疗保健不平等的复杂性，但乐观地认为，通过对话、承认、认可和行动，所有患者总有一天都能平等获得医疗保健。最新研究结果：继肺癌癌症之后，癌症是美国女性死亡的第二大原因。乳腺造影作为一种预防性筛查工具，显著降低了癌症死亡率。尽管已有癌症建议，但预计2022年将有43250名女性死于癌症。摘要：医疗保健结果存在差异的原因很多，包括基于种族、性别、文化多样性、宗教、性取向和社会经济地位的不平等。差距，无论有多大或多复杂，都不是不可逾越的。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of breast cancer. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those with the disease. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as prevention, systemic therapy, and translational research. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
