UM Study Finds Late Diagnosis And Under-Treatment To Blame For Disparities In Cervical Cancer Survival
Disparities in cervical cancer survival can be traced to differences in access to care for certain racial, ethnic and socioeconomic groups, according to a University of Miami Miller School of Medicine study of more than 5,300 Florida women. A team of researchers at the Miller School found that racial, ethnic and socioeconomic factors led to late-stage diagnosis and under-treatment of the disease, especially for women who are African-American or poor.
