We examined breast cancer treatment experiences of and outcomes for Latinas in Los Angeles County. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods. We conducted a population-based survey of women who were diagnosed with breast cancer between December 2001 and November 2002 (n=910) to evaluate the types of treatments received, communication with clinicians, and satisfaction. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results. About two thirds were non-Latina White, 18.8% were African American, and 18.9% were Latina (with 11.0% preferring English and 7.9% preferring Spanish). The rest indicated other ethnic groups. Latinas who preferred Spanish were more likely to experience a delay of 3 months or more from diagnosis to surgical treatment (36.4% vs 9.1% for non-Latina Whites, 18.6% for African Americans, and 12.7%, for other Latinas, P&lt;.001). African Americans and Latinas who preferred Spanish had very low rates of reconstruction (13.8% and 9.2%, respectively, compared with 42.1% for Whites and 34.5% for Latinas who preferred English, P=.009). Latinas who preferred Spanish had the highest odds ratio for low satisfaction. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusion. Latinas who preferred Spanish received different treatments and perceived a different treatment experience than did other cultural groups. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2004.057950","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,10,29]],"date-time":"2005-10-29T00:12:51Z","timestamp":1130544771000},"page":"2225-2230","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Breast Cancer Treatment Experiences of Latinas in Los Angeles County"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"95","author":[{"given":"Steven J.","family":"Katz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"At the time of the study, Steven J.
