Breast cancer is second only to lung cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths among women (American Cancer Society [ACS], 2011). Early detection improves treatment options and survival. Patient knowledge and the trusted communications from physicians are influential factors toward patient compliance with their cancer treatment. A nationally represented random sample of self identified non-minority white and minority women diagnosed with breast cancer was studied using the National Cancer Institute's, Health Interview National Trends Survey (HINTS, 2007). Ethnic differences were examined in relation to breast cancer screening knowledge and trusted health communications with doctors. In addition, whether the desired level of involvement in decision making is associated with perceived health status and better nutrition and exercise practices was examined. This study illustrates ethnic differences in the desire for involvement in treatment decision making and the degree to which women were involved to the extent desired role associated with satisfaction with their treatment decision. Since physician referral has been shown to be a strong predictor of mammography screening compliance and decision making, it appears improved patient-physician communications could mediate ethnic differences in regards to breast cancer treatment options. Examining the effects of patient's knowledge, as well as factors mediating participatory decision making and trust in the context of health communications may prove fruitful avenues of enquiry in future studies.
