Cancer and Culture: Revolutionizing Breast and Cervical Cancer Strategies for Asian Women Using Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Breast and cervical cancers remain significant health challenges among Asian women, with distinct epidemiological patterns, cultural barriers, and disparities in healthcare access influencing outcomes. The need for targeted, population-specific approaches in screening, prevention, and treatment is critical, particularly as breast cancer incidence rises and cervical cancer continues to impose a heavy burden despite being largely preventable. This review explores the underlying factors contributing to these disparities, the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in advancing early detection and personalized treatment, and the necessity for culturally sensitive healthcare interventions. This review highlights key epidemiological trends, including the younger onset and more aggressive subtypes of breast cancer among Asian women, as well as the persistent challenges in cervical cancer screening and prevention. It discusses the impact of cultural stigmas, socioeconomic constraints, and healthcare infrastructure limitations on cancer outcomes. Furthermore, it examines the evolving role of AI in cancer diagnostics, risk assessment, and treatment planning. The review underscores the importance of integrating technological advancements with culturally tailored policies and healthcare strategies to improve screening rates, enhance treatment outcomes, and reduce cancer-related mortality among Asian women.
