Abstract

The significant global burden of colorectal cancer accentuates disparities in access to preventive healthcare in most low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) as well as large sections of underserved populations within high-income countries. The barriers to colorectal cancer screening in economically transitioning Latin America are multiple. At the same time, immigration from these countries to the USA continues to increase. This case highlights the delays in diagnosis experienced by a recent immigrant from a country with no established colorectal cancer screening program, to an immigrant population in the USA with similar poor screening coverage. We discuss common challenges faced by Latinos in their home countries and the USA, as well as strategies that could be implemented to improve screening coverage in US immigrant populations.

拉丁裔患者大肠癌筛查的延迟:移民医疗在遏制全球结直肠癌发病率上升中的作用》(The Role of Immigrant Healthcare in Stemming the Rising Global Incidence of Colorectal Cancer)。
结直肠癌给全球带来的沉重负担加剧了大多数中低收入国家(LMICs)以及高收入国家中大部分得不到充分服务的人群在获得预防保健方面的差距。在经济转型期的拉丁美洲,结直肠癌筛查面临多重障碍。与此同时,从这些国家移民到美国的人数持续增加。本病例重点介绍了一位来自没有建立结直肠癌筛查计划的国家的新移民,在筛查覆盖率同样较低的美国移民人口中所经历的诊断延误。我们讨论了拉美人在本国和美国面临的共同挑战,以及为提高美国移民筛查覆盖率可采取的策略。
