C o u r s e D e s C r i p t i o nEffective cancer risk reduction, screening and treatment needs to

reflect changes in incidence and mortality rates and the multiple cancer care barriers faced by medically underserved minorities. These include, linguistic, cultural, financial, and legal. Research on prostate, breast, gastric and oral cancers will be highlighted due the heightened risk in particular minority populations. In addition to addressing access barriers, the latest screening controversies in immigrant minorities will be discussed. Nationwide, ethnic minorities have disproportionately high rates of being uninsured, which can result in the delaying or forgoing of screening and treatment, with potentially dire consequences. Communication is the cornerstone of effective, quality cancer care, from primary prevention to survivorship.

Eighty-three percent of the nation’s foreign-born population speaks a language other than English at home. This amplifies the communication challenges in cancer care.

ta r g e t a u D i e n C e Primary care physicians, obstetricians/gynecologists, oncologists,

dentists, and other healthcare professionals working with minority populations who might be at high risk for cancer.

s t a t e m e n t o f n e e DThere are a number of effective initiatives to ensure that minority

patients are adequately represented in cancer risk reduction, early detection, and treatment programs.

Minority populations are at higher risk of dying from particular cancers. Medically underserved minorities face multiple barriers, including financial, legal, linguistic and cultural, to accessing important cancer care services. Providing risk reducing services such as screening and counseling can decrease cancer morbidity and mortality.

e D u C a t i o n a l o b j e C t i v e s• compile resources that are culturally and linguistically appropriate

for various minority populations.

• establish an effective screening strategy to identify patients with an increased risk for specific cancers.

• recognize barriers that minority patients face when accessing health care services.

• identify the risks associated with specific cancers to determine which minority patients should be screened and at what frequencies.

The Post-Graduate Medical School of the New York University School of Medicine is committed to improving patient care through continuing medical education.
