Bridging Gaps in Breast Cancer Care: Access, Equity and Patient Outcomes
Received Date: Jun 01, 2024 / Published Date: Jun 27, 2024
Abstract
Breast cancer care disparities persist globally, influenced by multifaceted factors such as socioeconomic status, geographic location, and cultural beliefs. This review explores the complex landscape of access, equity, and patient outcomes in breast cancer care. Barriers to equitable care include financial constraints, limited healthcare infrastructure in rural and underserved areas, and disparities in health insurance coverage. Cultural and linguistic barriers further hinder timely diagnosis and treatment initiation among diverse populations. Effective strategies for bridging these gaps encompass healthcare policy reforms, community outreach initiatives, and multidisciplinary care models that prioritize patient-centered approaches. Addressing these challenges is crucial to improving early detection rates, treatment adherence, and overall survival outcomes for breast cancer patients. Future directions involve leveraging technology and telemedicine to enhance access to specialized care and fostering collaborations between healthcare stakeholders to promote health equity. By advancing these efforts, healthcare systems can mitigate disparities and optimize outcomes, ensuring that all individuals receive equitable and effective breast cancer care.
