Outcomes from breast cancer for women in the UK have improved significantly over recent decades. These gains are largely attributable to a combination of earlier diagnosis and access to treatments delivered to patients by the National Health Service irrespective of cost. Ethnic minority groups make up almost fifteen percent of the UK population and there is concern however that these groups may have poorer outcomes from the disease. In this short report we seek to summarise what the current evidence tells us about the patterns of breast cancer incidence and outcomes in ethnic minority women in the UK in order to raise awareness about this topic and provide consideration for what future research is needed to address the gaps that may exist.
几十年来，英国女性的乳腺癌治疗结果有了显著改善。这些进展在很大程度上归因于早期诊断的提高和国民保健制度为患者提供治疗的机会，无论治疗费用如何。少数民族占英国人口的近 15%，但人们担心这些群体可能会因该疾病而产生更差的治疗结果。在这份简短的报告中，我们旨在总结目前有关英国少数民族女性乳腺癌发病率和治疗结果模式的证据，以提高对这一主题的认识，并为未来可能存在的研究差距提供考虑。
