In recent years, the burden of breast cancer among Asian women in the United States has been increasing, highlighting challenges related to cultural stigma, socioeconomic status, and access to breast cancer care. There is a need for a greater understanding of barriers to breast cancer prevention and treatment efforts in order to reduce disparities in care among different Asian ethnic groups.
Over the past two decades, the US Asian population has increased 72%, representing the fastest growth rate of any major racial group. Currently, there are over 20 million Asian and Asian American women in the United States, who identify with at least 1 of 19 different origin groups. Although women of Asian ancestry have traditionally been considered low risk for experiencing adverse breast cancer specific outcomes, aggregated data may mask health disparities seen among subgroups. In the United States, recent data demonstrate that the burden of breast cancer among Asian women has increased each year over the past decade. We aim to characterize challenges faced by Asian and Asian American women in the United States related to cultural stigma, socioeconomic status, and overall access to breast cancer care. An increased understanding of barriers to breast cancer prevention and treatment efforts is needed to develop more effective strategies aimed at reducing disparities in care among segments of this heterogenous population.
