YBCP Surveyed 455 AYA Survivors in the United States To define and quantify the difficulties young women encounter facing a breast cancer diagnosis.
CONCLUSION: Greater efforts should be made to educate young women on breast health, and the medical community should be made aware of these challenges so they can properly evaluate and assist young women to receive a prompt diagnosis.
The majority of respondents had a PCP or OB/GYN at the time of DETECTION. This PROVES delays were not a result of lack of access.
