Understanding social obstacles to early breast cancer detection is critical to improving breast cancer outcome in low‐ and middle‐resource countries
Year: 2010
Type: editorial
Abstract: In low‐ and middle‐resource countries worsened cancer survival is attributable largely to late‐stage presentation, which leads to particularly poor outcome when coupled with limited diagnostic and treatment capacity. The identification of social obstacles linked to public awareness programs educating women that breast cancer outcomes are improved through early detection is critical to broadening participation in early detection programs.
