United States Health Policies and Late-stage Breast and colorectal cancer diagnosis: Why such disparities by age?

Lee Mobley () and Tzy-Mey Kuo ()

Health Economics Review, 2015, vol. 5, issue 1, 1-11

Abstract: The state regulatory climate is an important predictor of late-stage BC and CRC diagnoses, especially among people younger than Medicare eligible age (65). State regulations can enhance the climate of access for younger, less well-insured or uninsured persons who fall outside normative screening guidelines. Copyright Mobley and Kuo. 2015
