We saw that these patients experienced fears of discrimination, a general discomfort with health care providers and more distrust of the health care system. Nonwhite women of low socioeconomic status also had lower cancer survival rates. We found that sexual orientation and race influenced whether women chose to get screened for cancer or to take preventive treatments. And we found some studies that were about specific kinds of cancer, like cervical or breast.
Examples include getting mammograms or a human papilloma virus vaccine. Most of the studies focused on what people did to prevent cancer or to check for it.
