美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民(AI/AN)女性与乳腺癌相关的数据有限,而且因地区而异。尽管全国乳腺癌发病率和死亡率有所下降,但AI/AN女性的这些指标尚未出现下降。与其他种族和民族相比,乳腺癌的健康差距仍然存在,表现为诊断阶段较高,筛查率较低。不成比例的是,更多的人工智能/人工智能在诊断时更年轻。从40岁开始筛查,改善机会,每年重新筛查,社区教育和推广,以及农村地区的流动乳房X光检查,都是改善乳腺癌差异的方法。
Data relative to breast cancer among American Indian and Alaska native (AI/AN) women are limited and vary by regions. Despite national decreases in breast cancer incidence and mortality rates, declines in these measures have not yet appeared among AI/AN women. Health disparities in breast cancer persist, manifest by higher stage at diagnosis, and lower screening rates compared to other racial and ethnic groups. Disproportionately more AI/AN are younger at diagnosis. Screening beginning at age 40, improving access, annual rescreening, community education and outreach, and mobile mammography for rural areas are ways to improve these disparities in breast cancer.
