Abstract

© 2018 SESPAS Objective: To evaluate the differences between autochthonous and allochthonous women's participation in a breast cancer screening programme. Method: Retrospective study based on data from the Breast Cancer Screening Programme of the province of Tarragona (2008-2015). The sample is the target population of the programme with known country of origin. Results: Cohort of 40,824 women. Allochthonous women participate less than autochthonous women (41.8% vs. 72.3%) although they have a similar global detection rate to the latter but with differences according to the human development index of their country of origin. Both groups present similar tumour stages on detection (p =.59). Conclusions: Strategies specifically aimed at the immigrant population are required to improve their participation in breast cancer screening.
