Abstract

This study investigated the association of race, age, and census tract area poverty level on breast cancer stage at diagnosis. The study was limited to women residing in Missouri, aged 18 years and older, diagnosed with breast cancer, and whose cases were reported to the Cancer Registry between 2003 and 2008. The risk, relative risk, and increased risk of late-stage at diagnosis by race, age, and census tract area poverty level were computed. We found that the odds of late-stage breast cancer among African-American women were higher when compared with their white counterpart (OR 1.433; 95% CI, 1.316, 1.560). In addition, the odds of advanced stage disease for women residing in high-poverty areas were greater than those living in low-poverty areas (OR 1.319; 95% CI 1.08; 1.201). To close the widening cancer disparities gap in Missouri, there is the need for effective and programmatic strategies to enable interventions to reach areas and populations most vulnerable to advanced stage breast cancer diagnosis.

乳腺癌诊断阶段的差异:种族、贫困和年龄的重要性。
本研究探讨了种族、年龄、人口普查区贫困水平与乳腺癌诊断分期的关系。该研究仅限于居住在密苏里州、年龄在18岁及以上、被诊断患有乳腺癌的女性,她们的病例在2003年至2008年期间被报告给癌症登记处。计算不同种族、年龄和人口普查区贫困水平的风险、相对风险和晚期诊断风险增加。我们发现,与白人女性相比,非裔美国女性患晚期乳腺癌的几率更高(OR 1.433;95% ci, 1.316, 1.560)。此外,生活在高贫困地区的妇女患晚期疾病的几率大于生活在低贫困地区的妇女(OR为1.319;95% ci 1.08;1.201)。为了缩小密苏里州不断扩大的癌症差距,需要制定有效的规划战略,使干预措施能够覆盖最容易被诊断为晚期乳腺癌的地区和人群。
