“…The authors found that health insurance coverage, higher education and discussing reproductive issues with a health work-ers had the potential to be used as predictors of PSA screening; nonetheless, they emphasised that improved access to PSA screening may be accompanied by detrimental consequences [45]. A recent research study among elderly Mexican men showed that those who attended school had undergone PSA screenings more often than those who did not attended school, which can be explained by the better financial situation of educated people [46].…”

Nowadays, Prostate Cancer (PC) makes up a high proportion of cancer mortality; moreover, apart from skin cancer, it has the most prevalence among malignancies. Due to tremendous progress in early detection through blood tests, surgical procedures and radiotherapy treatment, the prognosis of patients with PC has been dramatically increased. Over the past years, an ongoing debate on the costs and benefits of early detection of PC has existed, and the overall value of early detection in PC remains to be elucidated. The clinical implication of Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) in PC diagnosis has been proven to some degree and has been considered the leading cause of the notable rise in PC incidence. In a scrutiny of literature, plenty of studies have been conducted regarding the effects of socioeconomic status (SES) on different aspects of PC. The index of SES involves a combination of different indicators including, but not limited to, education, lifestyle and economy. According to the outcomes of previous investigations, the level of SES is inversely correlated with the PC mortality rate, resulting in the detection of the tumour in the earlier stages. In support of this fact, men with higher levels of SES have more access to medical care; furthermore, as the level of SES increases, the intention toward PSA screening tests rises.

Purpose Research on disparities in prognosis and clinical characteristics between public and private healthcare sectors in developing countries remains limited. The study aimed to determine whether patients with public health coverage (1) have a greater mean tumor size at diagnosis compared to those with private health coverage; (2) exhibit differences in clinical staging and TNM classification between groups; and (3) show variations in demographic, clinical characteristics, histopathological findings, and surgical approaches among cohorts. Methods A cross-sectional, multicenter study was conducted on 629 patients from both private and public healthcare sectors, all histologically confirmed and surgically treated for Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC), between 2011 and 2021 in high-volume hospitals in Monterrey, Mexico. To compare variables between groups, we employed independent samples t-tests, Mann Whitney U nonparametric test, along with Pearson’s chi-square test complemented by post hoc analyses. Results Mean tumor size in the public group was 1.9 cm greater than in the private group (7.39 vs. 5.51 cm, p < 0.001). Patients in the public sector more frequently presented with larger tumors, a higher prevalence of risk factors (excluding BMI and hypertension), advanced disease (OR 2.12, 95% CI 1.43–3.16, p < 0.001), presence of symptoms, elevated TNM, lymphovascular invasion and a lower prevalence of minimally invasive surgery. A male-to-female ratio of 2.6:1 was noted in the private coverage group. Conclusions This study highlights a notable association between public health coverage and a higher prevalence of advanced RCC, with tumors in private coverage patients being smaller yet larger than commonly reported. There is a crucial need to develop new health policies for early detection of renal cancer in developing countries.
