The current state of knowledge regarding breast carcinoma etiology in different ethnic groups was reviewed in plenary sessions that were followed by breakout sessions on specific risk factors. The workshop truly was multidisciplinary with active participation by leaders from the ethnic minority advocacy community including strong representation from basic and clinical research, the community, and policy development sectors. These risk factors then were considered in subsequent breakout sessions from the perspective of each of the five ethnic groups. Summaries are presented in this collation from the workshop.
