Three cancers, which are prevalent in modern society, are breast, lung and prostate cancer. These three cancers have different impacts on different ethnicities such as Middle Eastern, Asian/Pacific Islander and American Indian/Alaskan Native. In the following we will take a look at the three cancers within these three nationalities.
While breast cancer is mainly common in women while rare, men can actually get it as well.
There are two common methods used to detect the possibility that breast cancer exists and additional testing is needed, 1. The breast self-examination is recommended for all women to do on a monthly basis. The breast self-examination it intended for a woman to get to know and be familiar with her breast.

Compared to the rest of the world the Middle East women also tend to get breast cancer at a younger age then elsewhere as well as they have a lower survival rate due to seeking care after the cancer has progressed into a later stage of cancer. One reason the seek care in the later stages is because they do not have the pre-screening options available such as the mammogram, like women do in the US. Middle Eastern women pretty much have to detect a lump and demand a mammogram just to get screened to see if something may be wrong. Due to the lack of screenings and awareness this has a direct impact on the higher mortality rate.
In summary, when you review breast cancer amongst these three different nationalities you see that Asian born women who do not end up on a western diet has the lowest rate of breast cancer, with American Indian/Alaskan Native women the part of the country you live in determines the risk rate of breast cancer and for Middle Eastern women due to the lack of early detection and screening they have the highest mortality rate out of the three …show more content…
In conclusion, the Middle East population has the lowest survival rates for all the cancers in this review. The common theme is due to lack of education, awareness and early detection. Native Americans/Alaska Natives show that depending on what part of the country you live in increases your risk of cancer. For those that live in the Northern Plains the risks are higher than those that live in the Southwest.
The Asian/Pacific Islanders have the lowest cancer rates of the three nationalities we reviewed. However, they have the highest rate of non-smoker lung cancer of the other nationalities, which is believed to be from their environment unlike the other nationalities with lung cancer where 90% is contributed to
