Breast cancer diagnostic delays among young Mexican women are associated with a lack of suspicion by healthcare providers at first presentation

Journal of Global Oncology Sep 11, 2019

Unger-Saldaña K, et al. - Researchers examined the correlation of young age with the risk of diagnostic delays among patients with breast cancer (BC). In addition, they sought for the mechanisms through which young age affects diagnostic delay. In this cross-sectional study, they analyzed 592 patients with symptomatic BC who were treated at two of the largest public cancer hospitals in Mexico City available for the uninsured and those covered by Seguro Popular. Outcomes revealed an increased risk of diagnostic delays among patients with young age (40 years of age or younger). This seems to be due to an increased risk of lack of cancer suspicion at the first healthcare service consulted.
