evidence: Persistent lower mammography use among certain minority populations will continue to result in patients receiving a diagnosis of breast cancer at later stages and a potentially slower decrease in breast cancer death rates. One study addressing preventable deaths in the United States has estimated that a 5% increase in mammography use could prevent 560 deaths from breast cancer each year (16). Therefore, increasing mammography use among women, especially those with low use prevalence, might decrease breast cancer mortality substantially . More research is needed to help understand why these disparities exist and provide appropriate interventions that reduce or eliminate them.
