Women with severe disabilities and multiple chronic conditions are screened for breast cancer less often than women with no disabilities or no chronic conditions, a new study has found.
They are also screened less often than women with moderate disabilities or women with only one chronic condition, according to Dr. Sara Guilcher, an affiliate scientist with the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute ofSt. Michael’s Hospital.
Dr. Guilcher said women with disabilities often have other measures of social vulnerability, such as low income and low education levels.
