Geographic and Temporal Patterns of Screening for Breast, Cervical, and Colorectal Cancer in the US, 1997-2019
These findings suggest that despite increasing screening overall, which led to reduced geographic variation in screening, local clusters of high and low screening persisted in the Northeast and Southwest US, respectively. Future studies could incorporate county-level health care access characteristics to explain why areas of low screening did not catch up to optimize cancer screening practices.
