Recent literature confirms that the method of breast cancer detection may be an important prognostic factor, but there are no studies that examine the method of breast cancer detection in low-income populations. We sought to analyze the determinants of method of detection (medical vs. self) in a cohort of low-income women with breast cancer receiving care through California's Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a cross-sectional survey analysis of 921 low-income women interviewed within 6 months of definitive surgical treatment.

Logistic regression analyses revealed that older women, Latinas, and women having any health insurance before diagnosis had lower odds of self-detecting their lesions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patient age, ethnicity, and regular source of care were associated with method of breast cancer detection in a low-income underserved population. The rate of self-detection in our population correlates with the literature, but we need to improve efforts to increase mammography screening to ensure early detection of disease in this vulnerable group.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/jwh.2008.1224","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,1]],"date-time":"2009-12-01T15:37:13Z","timestamp":1259681833000},"page":"1807-1811","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Method of Detection of Breast Cancer in Low-Income Women"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Amardeep","family":"Thind","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Western Ontario","place":["Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Allison","family":"Diamant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lalima","family":"Hoq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cedars-Sinai Medical Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rose","family":"Maly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","unstructured":"National Cancer Institute.
