Socioeconomic inequality in organized and opportunistic screening for breast cancer: results from the Korean National Cancer Screening Survey, 2009-2021
The NCSP has improved breast cancer screening rates and reduced income-related inequality in organized screening. However, educational and income-based inequalities persist in opportunistic screening. To reduce screening inequities, policy efforts are needed to further promote the NCSP, including improving program quality and providing financial support for follow-up examinations.
