PY - 2015 DA - 2015/07/21 TI - Breast cancer screening disparities among urban immigrants: a population-based study in Ontario, Canada JO - BMC Public Health SP - 679 VL - 15 IS - 1 AB - Breast cancer is one of the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in Canada. Screening is the most promising approach in identification and treatment of the disease at early stage of its development. Research shows higher rate of breast cancer mortality among ethno-racial immigrant women despite their lower incidence which suggests disparities in mammography screening. This study aimed to compare the prevalence of appropriate mammography screening among immigrant and native borne women and determine predicators of low mammography screening.
