News summary

Research indicates that social-environmental injustices significantly impact cancer screening rates, particularly in marginalized communities. A study published in JAMA Network Open found that areas with high social-environmental injustice (SEI) had notably lower screening prevalence for cancer, exacerbating health disparities. In a related initiative, the LGBTQIA+ community is being targeted with the 'Screening Saves Lives' campaign to improve cancer screening rates, addressing barriers they face in healthcare access. Additionally, a study highlights that women receiving false-positive mammograms are less likely to pursue further screenings, emphasizing the need for better communication about screening risks. Meanwhile, awareness programs are combating social stigma surrounding childhood cancer, as survivors share their experiences to educate the public. These combined efforts reflect a growing recognition of the importance of tackling both social stigma and systemic barriers in cancer care and research.
