Factors that affect breast cancer treatment: underserved and minority populations

Thelma C Hurd et al. Surg Oncol Clin N Am. 2005 Jan.

Breast cancer treatment in underserved populations continues to deviate from established guidelines. Significant barriers persist at the system, physician, and patient levels that ultimately may affect survival adversely. Successful strategies to reduce the disparities must be developed to improve outcomes in this population of women.
