Prior Mammography Utilization: Does it Explain Black-White Differences in Breast Cancer Outcomes?
Abstract
Older black women are more likely to be diagnosed with advanced stage breast cancer as compared with older white women. Furthermore, black women are less likely to undergo mammography than white women. However, it is unknown whether differential use of mammography prior to breast cancer diagnosis accounts for black-white differences in stage at diagnosis. The purpose of this dissertation research is to determine the extent to which prior mammography use can explain differences in stage at diagnosis between older black and white women with breast cancer.
