Since its inception in 1991, the mission of the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program's (NBCCEDP) mission is to improve access to mammography. This program has demonstrated evidence showing that it has improved breast cancer screening rates for women who are uninsured and underinsured. However, the literature has shown that NBCCEDP screenings are decreasing, and only reach a portion of eligible women. Reliable estimates at the sub-county level are needed to identify and reach eligible women...

BACKGROUND: The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) and CRC-related mortality among young adults (< 50 years) has been on the rise. The American Cancer Society (ACS) reduced the CRC screening age to 45 in 2018. Few studies have examined the barriers to CRC screening among young adults. METHODS: Analyses were conducted using data from 7,505 adults aged 45-75 years who completed the 2018 to 2020 Health Information National Trends Survey. We examined the sociodemographic characteristics associated with CRC screening overall and by age group using separate multivariable logistic regression models...

PURPOSE: We built Bayesian Network (BN) models to explain roles of different patient-specific factors affecting racial differences in breast cancer stage at diagnosis, and to identify healthcare related factors that can be intervened to reduce racial health disparities. METHODS: We studied women age 67-74 with initial diagnosis of breast cancer during 2006-2014 in the National Cancer Institute's SEER-Medicare dataset. Our models included four measured variables (tumor grade, hormone receptor status, screening utilization and biopsy delay) expressed through two latent pathways-a tumor biology path, and health-care access/utilization path...

PURPOSE: Low socioeconomic background (SB) has been associated with lower breast cancer (BC) incidence and higher BC mortality. One explanation of this paradox is the higher frequency of advanced BC observed in deprived women. However, it is still unclear if SB affects similarly BC incidence. This study investigated the link between SB and early/advanced BC incidence from Loire-Atlantique/Vendee Cancer registry data (France). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fourteen thousand three hundred fifty three women living in the geographic area covered by the registry and diagnosed with a primary BC in 2008-2015 were included...

PURPOSE: African Americans have the highest colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality of all racial groups in the USA, which may relate to differences in healthcare access or advanced stage at diagnosis. Recent evidence indicates that differences in tumor characteristics may also underlie disparities in mortality. To highlight recent findings and areas for investigation, we completed the first systematic review of racial disparities in CRC tumor prognostic markers, including clinicopathological markers, microsatellite instability (MSI), oncogene mutations, and novel markers, including cancer stem cells and immune markers...
