The cross-sectional association between lifestyle behaviors and breast and cervical cancer screening among Hispanic women along the Texas-Mexico border
Differential factors were associated with increased odds of being up-to-date with mammography versus Pap test screening. Lifestyle behavior promotion complements cancer prevention interventions. Contextual insight into the association between lifestyle and cancer screening provides a foundation for future endeavors to augment these two core components of cancer prevention to address Hispanic women's rising breast and cervical cancer risk.
