title: Cancer prevention and early detection in ethnically diverse populations.
abstract: Providing cancer screening to the diverse minority subgroups of the United States is a challenge. In order to effectively screen the African American, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Alaskan, and Native Hawaiian populations, cancer screening methods must be ethically and culturally based. Nurses must also strive make preventive care accessible to the underserved.
