Treatment 76 IV INTRODUCTION There are consistent, well-documented differences in breast cancer incidence and mortality among racial/ethnic groups in the United States that may have significant implications for the prevention and treatment ofbreast cancer. For example, white women have the highest overall incidence ofbreast cancer, followed by Native Hawaiian, African American, Asian, Hispanic, and American Indian women. However, among women under age 45, African Americanwomen have ahigher incidence ofbreast cancer than white women. Mortality and survival rates also vary widely among racial/ethnic groups. For example, the mortality rate is higher for African American women followed by white and Native American women. Lower mortality rates are observed among Asians and Alaskan Natives. African American women alsohave a significantly lower 5-year survival rate than white women. The study ofmulticultural aspects ofbreast cancer etiology is important in identifying factors that may contribute to the variation in breast cancer morbidity incertain racial/ethnic populations, thus making such information available for prevention efforts, and in identifying steps that could be taken to improve survival rates for patients in groups with high mortality rates. This bibliography is one ofthree documents prepared in support ofthe Workshop on Multicultural Aspects of Breast Cancer Etiology, convened by the National Action Plan on Breast Cancer's Etiology Working Groupon March 17 through 19, 1999 inWashington, D.C. Theworkshop broughttogether individuals from varied disciplines, including members of the breast cancer research and minority health advocacy communities, to examine the current state ofknowledge concerning multicultural aspects ofbreast cancer etiology, to explore limitations ofand gaps incurrent research activities, and to identify and prioritize future research directions. References in this bibliography provide background for the key topics ofthe workshop and other areas of interest. In addition to exploring the workshop's presentation topics, the bibliography contains related subjects in special populations: the screening and early detection of breast cancer and the mortality and survival issues ofmulticultural populations. Publications ofgeneral interest on selected topic areas, studies on breast cancer from countries ofancestral origin ofmulticultural populations, and selected international studies are also included. The bibliography coversjournal articles, books, book chapters, conference proceedings, meeting abstracts, technical reports, and dissertations, rangingprimarily fromJanuary 1993 through December 1998. Seminal and other selectedworks in English withinthe previous tenyears were also included. Citations are primarily listedunderthe one most appropriate category. Forexample, anarticle on screening forbreast cancerwhich emphasizes older Hispanic womenwould be listed under "Aged." Some publications, however, have been indexed to more than one category because oftheir comprehensive nature. References within each subject category are presented alphabetically by author. Any reproductions ofthis bibliography, inwhole or inpan, must include all credits.
