“…Only two studies met our review criteria for interventions to reduce disparities in breast cancer treatment (Ell et al 2002;Goodwin et al 2003). The paucity of literature in this area indicates more research is needed to define what represents high-quality breast cancer care and to identify effective strategies for improving treatment and survivorship care among minority women.…”

“…However, due to the small number of patients diagnosed with breast cancer, neither of these differences was statistically significant. Goodwin et al (2003) evaluated the effect of nurse case management on breast cancer treatment in a racially diverse population of female Medicare recipients. Interactions between nurse case managers and patients occurred in the patients' homes, via telephone, in outpatient clinics, and in the hospital setting.…”

Interventions to Enhance Breast Cancer Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment among Racial and Ethnic Minority Women

The authors conduct a systematic review of the literature to identify interventions designed to enhance breast cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment among minority women. Most trials in this area have focused on breast cancer screening, while relatively few have addressed diagnostic testing or breast cancer treatment. Among patient-targeted screening interventions, those that are culturally tailored or addressed financial or logistical barriers are generally more effective than reminder-based interventions, especially among women with fewer financial resources and those without previous mammography. Chart-based reminders increase physician adherence to mammography guidelines but are less effective at increasing clinical breast examination. Several trials demonstrate that case management is an effective strategy for expediting diagnostic testing after screening abnormalities have been found. Additional support for these and other proven health care organization-based interventions appears justified and may be necessary to eliminate racial and ethnic breast cancer disparities. Keywords breast cancer; screening; diagnosis; treatment; race; ethnicity; interventionBreast cancer is the most common noncutaneous malignancy and the second most common cause of cancer death among U.S. women (Ries et al. 2005). With over 200,000 cases diagnosed each year, the lifetime risk of breast cancer among U.S. women is 1 in 8 (American Cancer Society 2005). Although breast cancer mortality declined by 2.3% per year between 1990 and 2002, racial and ethnic disparities increased during that time, primarily due to a greater decline in breast cancer mortality among white women compared to minority women (Jemal et al. 2004;Ries et al. 2005). Five-year female breast cancer survival is currently 87.5% among whites, 75.0% among blacks, 83.0% among Hispanics/Latinos, 89.4% among Asians/Pacific Islanders, and 79.6% among American Indians/Alaska Natives (Jemal et al. 2004).Disparities in breast cancer survival may be related to racial and ethnic differences at each stage of detection and management, including screening, timeliness of diagnostic testing after abnormal screening, quality of care during breast cancer treatment, and follow-up upon completion of breast cancer therapy (Aziz and Rowland 2002;McWhorter and Mayer 1987). No single element of care explains all of the mortality disparities. For example, breast cancer mortality remains higher among black women compared to white women despite evidence that screening mammography rates have been similar in these two groups since about 1993 ( Figure 1). In addition, compared to white women, Hispanic/Latino women have lower mammography rates and lower 5-year breast cancer survival, while Asian/Pacific Islander women have lower mammography rates and higher 5-year breast cancer survival (National Center for Health Statistics 2005;Jemal et al. 2004 (McPhee et al. 2002), these results suggest that screening mammography is only one of several factors important to racial/ethnic differen...

“…The assessment can thus include the sociodemographic characteristics of referred individuals (Fawcett et al, 2007), their history and physical health condition (Jennings-Sanders et al, 2005;Liebert, et al, 2003), as well as mental health (Fawcett et al, 2007;Fillion et al 2006), the structure and functioning of their family and social network (Fawcett et al, 2007), the existence of nancial or functional problems (Fawcett et al, 2007), their understanding of their disease and treatment (Campbell et al, 2010;Goodwin, Satish, Anderson, Nattinger, & Freeman, 2003;Skrutkowski et al, 2008), and the resources they have to overcome the challenge and adapt to the disease (Campbell et al, 2010).…”

“…The assessment promotes empowerment and supports problem solving (Fillion et al, 2006) by guiding the teaching of self-care strategies (Bowman & Grim, 2008). The assessment also helps to accurately determine missing or incorrect information (Melinyshyn & Wintonic, 2006), and this has a positive e ect on patients' compliance with treatment in addition to having a favourable impact on their quality of life and even cancer survival (Goodwin et al, 2003). Moreover, the availability of the PNOs' assessment results to their health care partners promotes information and care continuity.…”

“…Cancer patients report difficulty navigating the health care system to obtain information and support relevant to their unique circumstances due to the complexity and multitude of different types of cancer service agencies [4]. Care models that facilitate access to coordinated supportive care have been proposed including supportive care system networks [11], patient-focused navigator models [12], and nurse-led clinical case management [10,13].…”
