Description

National cancer screening guidelines (CSGs) exist to promote early cancer detection, reducing mortality, morbidity, and cost. The incarcerated population is at increased risk for certain cancers, decreased cancer screening, and barriers to treatment. In this study we investigate how state and federal prison CSGs differ from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network’s (NCCN) CSGs.
