Cancer Screening Uptake and Usual Source of Care Among Hispanic Survivors of Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer
Although Hispanic survivors of AYA cancers were more likely than Hispanic individuals without a history of cancer to report up-to-date cancer screening, screening rates among both groups remain low. Notably, approximately one-quarter of survivors reported lacking a usual source of care, indicating potential gaps in preventive health care access. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to improve cancer screening uptake among Hispanic survivors of AYA cancer.
