Breast Cancer Stage at Diagnosis in a New Jersey Cancer Education and Early Detection Site.
CONCLUSIONS: This national program was developed to serve low income, under and uninsured women who may otherwise have limited access to cancer screening services. It appears that many women enroll in this program needing diagnostic rather than screening services, after breast symptoms were noted. This finding helps to emphasize the fact that just providing free screening services is not enough to make up for the lack of a usual source of preventive care for low income and uninsured women.
