由于障碍和文化上的犹豫,美国土著妇女在乳腺癌护理结果方面面临差异。 Indigenous women in the U.S. face disparities in breast cancer care outcomes due to barriers and cultural hesitancy.

美国癌症学会最近的一份报告显示,美国土著妇女在乳腺癌护理方面面临重大障碍,导致结果上的差异。 A recent American Cancer Society report reveals that Indigenous women in the U.S. face significant barriers to breast cancer care, leading to disparities in outcomes. 虽然她们乳腺癌发病率比白人妇女低10%,但其死亡率却高出6%。 While they have a 10% lower breast cancer incidence than white women, their mortality rate is 6% higher. 40岁以上的土著妇女中只有大约50%最近做过乳房X光检查。 Only about 50% of Indigenous women over 40 have had recent mammograms. 文化上犹豫不决和获得医疗保健的机会有限,都助长了这些问题,促使人们努力创造文化上相关的资源,以便更好地外联和支持。 Cultural hesitancy and limited access to healthcare contribute to these issues, prompting efforts to create culturally relevant resources for better outreach and support.
