Applying the Intersectionality Lens to Understand Minority Ethnic Women's Experiences of the Breast Cancer Care Pathway in England: A Qualitative Interview Study
Our findings underscored that minority ethnic women negotiated complex processes that influence their coping responses, access to services, and management of their disease. Our study exposed institutional deficiencies that systematically disadvantage minority ethnic women. These findings suggest that policymakers and clinicians should reformulate policies and cancer services to ensure all women with breast cancer receive equal and optimal care.
