2021年美国医学杂志网络公开研究显示,与白人女性相比,美国老年黑人女性的乳腺癌治疗延迟时间更长,标准治疗也更少. 2021 JAMA Network Open study reveals older US Black women experience longer delays and less standard breast cancer treatments compared to white women.

《美国医学协会网络开放杂志》公布的一项研究发现,美国老年黑人妇女接受标准乳腺癌治疗的可能性较小,而且比白人妇女受到的拖延时间更长。 A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Network Open found that older Black women in the U.S. are less likely to receive standard breast cancer treatments and experience longer delays than white women. 对超过258,000名65岁及65岁以上的妇女进行的分析表明,18%的黑人妇女没有得到指导性建议护理,而白人妇女的比例为15%。 Analyzing over 258,000 women aged 65 and older, it showed 18% of Black women did not get guideline-recommended care versus 15% of white women. 调查结果突出表明,尽管《医疗保健计划》覆盖了癌症护理,但是在癌症护理方面仍然存在种族差异。 The findings underscore persistent racial disparities in cancer care, despite Medicare coverage.
