“…The other factors that appeared to cause negative perceptions and act as barriers to cervical cancer screening was a previous history of trauma like childhood sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, and trauma related to medical procedures which was mentioned in previous study ( Ackerson K , 2010). However, in previous research, a link between an interpersonal or medical trauma history and routine screening was not indicated (Bazargan et al, 2004;Hoyo et al, 2005). Chung HH conducted a cross sectional study to document currently cervical cancer screening practices of physicians in Korea These researchers verified that cost has been a major reason for selecting screening method of liquid-based cytology instead of Pap smear (Chung, 2006).…”

“…[25][26][27][28] Research suggests that factors such as older age, low educational attainment, lack of financial resources, and tobacco use are associated with lower cervical cancer screening among HIV-infected African American women. 25,[29][30][31] Studies have shown that the sociocultural environment influences the knowledge, beliefs, and values that influence decision-making associated with health behaviors such as participation in cervical cancer screening. 32 Cervical cancer rates are higher in resource-constrained settings that limit the available resources supportive of a woman adhering to screening recommendations.…”

African American women have disproportionately high prevalence rates of HIV and cervical cancer. HIVinfected women are significantly less likely to obtain recommended cervical cancer screenings than HIVuninfected women. The purpose of this study was to examine sociocultural and structural factors associated with cervical cancer screening among HIV-infected African American in Alabama. The PEN-3 Model and the Health Belief Model were used as theoretical frameworks. In-depth interviews were conducted with twenty HIV-infected African American women to identify perceptions, enablers, and nurturers, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, and perceived benefits related to cervical cancer and screening. The most common positive perceptions, enablers, and nurturers that contributed to cervical cancer screening included internal motivation and awareness of the importance of HIV-infected women getting Pap tests due to their weakened immune system. Negative perceptions, enablers, and nurturers included lack of knowledge about cervical cancer and screening, and lack of perceived susceptibility to cervical cancer. The results of this study can be used to guide the development of culturally relevant cervical cancer and screening education interventions aimed at increasing cervical cancer screening adherence among HIV-infected African American women.

“…A recommendation from a primary care physician, for example, is consistently one of the strongest predictors of cancer screening. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Patients who are referred to or are assigned a primary care physician are more likely to undergo most forms of cancer screening, including mammograms [11][12][13] and clinical breast examinations. 11 Primary care physicians may also ensure more timely diagnosis after screening abnormalities and prevent diagnostic delay.…”

PURPOSE We used the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER)-Medicare database to explore the association between primary care and breast cancer outcomes.METHODS Using a retrospective cohort study of 105,105 female Medicare benefi ciaries with a diagnosis of breast cancer in SEER registries during the years 1994-2005, we examined the total number of offi ce visits to primary care physicians and non-primary care physicians in a 24-month period before cancer diagnosis. For women with invasive cancers, we examined the odds of diagnosis of late-stage disease, according to the American Joint Commission on Cancer (AJCC) (stages III and IV vs stages I and II), and survival (breast cancer specifi c and all cause) using logistic regression and proportional hazards models, respectively. We also explored whether including noninvasive cancers, such as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), would alter results and whether prior mammography was a potential mediator of associations.RESULTS Primary care physician visits were associated with improved breast cancer outcomes, including greater use of mammography, reduced odds of latestage diagnosis, and lower breast cancer and overall mortality. Prior mammography (and resultant earlier stage diagnosis) mediated these associations in part, but not completely. Similar results were seen for non-primary care physician visits. Results were similar when women with DCIS were included in the analysis.CONCLUSIONS Medicare benefi ciaries with breast cancer had better outcomes if they made greater use of a primary care physician's ambulatory services. These fi ndings suggest adequate primary medical care may be an important factor in achieving optimal breast cancer outcomes.
