Sociologists Have Found New Challenges In Cancer Treatment

Sociologists Have Found New Challenges In Cancer Treatment.
Money problems can slow women from getting recommended heart cancer treatments, a new study suggests Dec 2013. Researchers analyzed material from more than 1300 women in the Seattle-Puget Sound court who were diagnosed with breast cancer between 2004 and 2011. The purpose was to see if their care met US National Comprehensive Cancer Network care guidelines.

Women who had a break in their health insurance coverage were 3,5 times more in all probability than those with uninterrupted coverage to not receive the recommended care, the findings showed. Compared to patients with an annual species income of more than $90000, those with an annual family income of less than $50000 were more than twice as acceptable to not receive recommended radiation therapy. In addition, the investigators found that lower-income women were nearly five times more tenable to not receive recommended chemotherapy and nearly four times more appropriate to not receive recommended endocrine therapy.
