Hispanics Less Likely to Get Early Cancer Diagnosis

Tagged:

“Hispanics, the fastest-growing population group in the U.S., are less likely to be diagnosed in the early stages of certain cancers, reducing their access to life-saving care, a U.S. report says.

The report, released today by organizations including the National Cancer Institute, annually updates trends in the incidence rate of a variety of cancers since 1975. It also found the incidence of breast cancer overall in the U.S. stabilized from 2001 to 2003 for the first time in two decades, while thyroid cancer in women increased.”
