| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0x8FB66. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. We examined the effect of routine screening on breast cancer staging by race/ethnicity. Methods. We used a 1990 to 1998 mammography database (N=5182) of metro politan Denver, Colo, women to examine each racial/ethnic cohort's incident cancer cases (n=1902) and tumor stage distribution given similar patterns of routine screening use. Results. Regardless of race/ethnicity, women participating in routine screenings had earlier-stage disease by 5 to 13 percentage points. After control for possible con founding factors. White women were more likely to have early-stage disease compared with Black and Hispanic women. Conclusions. Lack of screening coverage in certain racial/ethnic populations has often been cited as a reason for tumor stage differences at detection. In this study, correcting for screening did not completely reduce stage differentials among Black and Hispanic women. |
