“…Research in Ontario, Canada identified disparities in screening rates among immigrant groups defined by world region of birth, including that South Asians had the lowest breast screening rates among all groups examined 9. Further research from the same population suggests that South Asian women may have more advanced breast tumors at the time of diagnosis 13, 14. Differences in screening rates within the immigrant population by length of residence in Canada have been reported, with much lower participation among more recent immigrants 10, 12…”

“…Taken together, the findings suggest that the authors have identified a health inequity among South Asian that, compared with patients in the remaining general population, South Asian women have more primary care contacts. Ginsburg et al 3 found Chinese women to be at an advantage when it came to stage at breast cancer diagnosis, and determining whether previous health promotion efforts, cultural differences, or some other factors influenced that finding will be informative. Finally, differences in stage at diagnosis have to be explored for other common cancers in which stage is a predictor for recurrence and survival, and for other immigrant and ethno-racial groups.…”
