Abstract

Breast cancer is the leading cancer diagnosed among Chinese, Filipino and Korean women. Despite the efficacy of breast cancer screening, Asian American women have one of the lowest rates of mammography and clinical breast exam (CBE) of all U.S. ethnic groups. I provided a systematic overview to document factors related to three modalities of breast cancer screening (breast self-exam [BSE], CBE and mammography) among four subgroups of Asian American women (i.e., Chinese, Korean, Filipino, and Asian Indian). Results showed that the existing studies provided evidence of demographic correlates to screening practice; however, fewer studies focused on cognitive and social-cultural correlates, and limited results were available with Filipino and Asian Indian groups.
