Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer incidence is rising among Asian-Americans, but they are less likely to pursue postmastectomy breast reconstruction (PMBR) compared to non-Asian women.
- A study reviewed data from 605 breast cancer patients to evaluate reconstruction rates among different Asian subgroups, indicating that Southeast Asian and South Asian women had the lowest rates of PMBR.
- Findings suggested that Hispanic, non-Hispanic White, and non-Hispanic Black women were more likely to undergo reconstruction, indicating a disparity that warrants further investigation within the Asian-American population.
