Article Abstract
Purpose: The National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) provides access to timely breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services to women who have low incomes and are uninsured or underinsured. Documenting the number of women eligible and the proportion of eligible women who receive NBCCEDP-funded services is important for identifying opportunities to increase screening and diagnostic services among those who would not otherwise have access.
Methods: Using the Census Bureau's Small Area Health Insurance Estimates data, we estimated the number of women who met the NBCCEDP eligibility criteria based on age, income, and insurance status. We used these estimates along with the number of women served by the NBCCEDP to calculate the percent of women served by race/ethnicity and state. We calculated the percent of eligible women who are up to date with screening using the 2019 National Health Interview Survey.
Results: The NBCCEDP served 15.0% of women ages 40-64 eligible for breast cancer services in 2018-2019 and 5.6% of women ages 21-64 eligible for cervical cancer services in 2018-2020. The NBCCEDP served 13.5% of women ages 40-64 eligible for breast cancer services in 2020-2021 and 5.9% of women ages 21-64 eligible for cervical cancer services in 2019-2021. The percent of women ages 40-64 who received breast cancer services declined by 1.5 percentage points between 2018-2019 and 2020-2021. The percent of women ages 21-64 who received cervical cancer services increased by 0.3 percentage points between 2018-2020 and 2019-2021. The percent of eligible women served varied among states. The state interquartile ranges of the percent of women served were 12.3-27.7% for breast cancer services in 2018-2019 and 3.9-14.7% for cervical cancer services in 2018-2020. Among women eligible for the NBCCEDP, 61.4% are not up to date with breast cancer screening and 40.6% are not up to date with cervical cancer screening.
Conclusion: There is wide variation between states in the share of eligible women served for breast and cervical cancer screening services. We found that both the number and the percentage of eligible women who received NBCCEDP breast cancer services declined during a period that overlapped with the COVID-19 pandemic. A large proportion of eligible women did not receive breast or cervical cancer screening.

In this article an analysis of the preventive campaigns against cervical cancer (CC) and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination developed by the National Cancer Institute (INCA) of the Ministry of Health was conducted, in addition to some campaigns produced by non-governmental organizations and private institutions, from 2014 to 2020. From a socio-anthropological point of view, the objective was to understand how these health technologies trigger and produce gender representations. Seven categories of analysis were developed ("Generationality of care", "Schooling", "Childhood and Youth", "Gamification", "Health risk", "Men's health" and "Neutrality") that permitted discussion of the themes that emerged in graphic pieces.

Background: While screening for cervical, colorectal, and lung cancers reduce cancer-specific mortality, the full benefits of screening are only realized when coupled with timely care across the subsequent "screening continuum" steps, including surveillance (results warranting frequent monitoring), diagnostic evaluation (results that require additional testing), and treatment (detected cancers). Our goal was to describe the proportion of individuals receiving timely cervical, colorectal, and lung cancer care at each step in the screening continuum.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from the 10 health care settings that participate in the Population-based Research to Optimize the Screening Process (PROSPR II) consortium and included individuals who were eligible for a step along the cancer screening continuum in 2018.
HPV knowledge and non-adherence to cervical cancer screening before and following the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.

To compare HPV vaccination knowledge and non-adherence rates to cervical cancer screening in a nationally representative sample of American women before and following the COVID-19 pandemic, female participants aged 21-65 years from the National Cancer Institute Health Information National Trends Survey 2019 and 2022 were included. Adherence to cervical cancer screening was assessed based on the timing of their last Papanicolaou (PAP) smear, with participants classified as non-adherent to cervical cancer guidelines if their last PAP smear was > 3 years. Further, participants were asked about their knowledge of the HPV vaccine and were categorized as unaware if they had not heard of it before.
