Cancer prevention among racial ethnic minorities
Abstract
Objectives: To provide an overview of the cancer disparities among racial and ethnically diverse populations and to describe primary and secondary prevention among them.
Data sources: Published articles, reports, book chapters, and government documents.
Conclusion: Despite the advances in cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survival, racial and ethnic minorities suffer disproportionately from cancer. Poverty has emerged as a significant factor influencing poor cancer outcomes for all races, but especially among racial and ethnic minorities.
Implications for nursing practice: Continued and sustained efforts are needed on all fronts (education, practice, and research, policy) to improve the poor cancer-related outcomes for minorities.
