Implementing Recommendations for the Early Detection of Breast and Cervical Cancer among Low-Income Women

This Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report details implementation recommendations regarding low-income women and the detection of breast and cervical cancer. Many factors contribute to the likelihood that a woman will be diagnosed with breast and cervical cancer, including age, family history, race, and socioeconomic factors. The report emphasizes decreasing death rates by increasing access to early screenings and services. To provide these services, the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) and the CDC identified six priorities in developing research-backed policy recommendations.
