BACKGROUND Gynecological cancers are an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Screening with mammography and Pap smear reduces breast and cervical cancer mortality. Neverthless, high participation rates are needed to ensure their effectiveness. We sought to assess the use of mammography and Pap smear and analyzed predictors of attendance at these cancer screenings in a large metropolitan area in Spain. METHODS We included women surveyed in the Madrid City Health Survey 2005. Cancer…

Social disparities in access to breast and cervical cancer screening by women living in Spain.
Inequalities in uptake of breast cancer screening in Spain: analysis of a cross-sectional national survey.
Breast cancer screening attendance in two Swiss regions dominated by opportunistic or organized screening
TLDR
The effect of socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle, health factors and screening behavior other than mammography on non-attendance to BC screening did not differ between the two regions with mainly opportunistic and organized screening, respectively, and did not explain the large differences in attendance between regions.
Awareness and uptake of colorectal, breast, cervical and prostate cancer screening tests in Spain.
TLDR
The data suggest that although PSA is not recommended, this opportunistic screening is frequently used in Spain, and it is necessary to develop public health educational programmes, especially for the vulnerable populations, aiming to inform and motivate them to use screening services on a regular basis.
Do breast cancer risk factors differ among those who do and do not undertake mammography screening?
TLDR
South Australian women who participated in the population-based mammography screening have a slightly higher prevalence of breast cancer risk factors, and this also applies to those who undertook private screening.
Identifying women's knowledge about risk factors of breast cancer and reasons for having mammography.
TLDR
It was found that some socio-demographic and obstetrical characteristics of women, their family history, and risk perceptions about Breast cancer affect their knowledge and anxiety scores about breast cancer.
Breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screening in adults with diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TLDR
The findings suggest that women with diabetes have suboptimal breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screening rates, compared with women without diabetes, although the absolute differences might be modest.
Factors associated with Pap smear screening among French women visiting a general practitioner in the Rhône-Alpes region.
Health-related lifestyle factors and mammography screening attendance in a Swedish cohort study
TLDR
In this cohort, nonattendance was associated with smoking, alcohol abstinence, physical activity, poor self-rated health, stress, and following a vegetarian/vegan diet, which generally support the notion that women with less healthy lifestyles are less likely to engage in mammography screening.

Prevalence and Predictors of Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Among Spanish Women With Diabetes
TLDR
Spanish women with diabetes underuse breast and cervical cancer screening tests, and higher educational level was a positive predictor for both tests among diabetic women.
Demographic predictors of mammography and Pap smear screening in US women.
TLDR
Low income was a strong predictor of mammography underuse, as was Hispanic ethnicity and other race, low educational attainment, age greater than 65, and residence in a rural area, as well as older women, particularly older Black women.
Social disparities in breast and cervical cancer preventive practices
TLDR
Socio-economic status remains associated with cervical smear use, while having an additional medical coverage increases the probability of regular mammography, and age and marital status are factors related to both practices.
Determinants of non attendance to mammography program in a region with high voluntary health insurance coverage
TLDR
The data indicate that factors related to the type of insurance coverage (such as prior mammography at a private health center and supplemental private insurance) influenced non-participation in the screening program.
Mammography use and factors associated with its use after the introduction of breast cancer screening programmes in Spain
TLDR
In conclusion, after the introduction of screening programmes, almost half of Spanish women aged 40–70 had received mammography, and invitation to screening, gynaecologist visit and women's attitudes are the main reasons for undergoing testing.
Chronic disease as a barrier to breast and cervical cancer screening
TLDR
Among women who sought outpatient care, screening rates decreased as comorbidity increased, and whether clinicians and patients are making appropriate decisions about screening is not known.
Breast and cervical cancer screening: sociodemographic predictors among White, Black, and Hispanic women.
TLDR
Regardless of race/ethnicity, most women follow mammography and cervical cancer screening guidelines, and the identification of specific factors associated with adherence to cancer screenings guidelines may help inform screening campaigns.
Screening for Breast Cancer
TLDR
In the community, mammography remains the main screening tool while the effectiveness of clinical breast examination and self-examination are less, and new screening modalities are unlikely to replace mammography in the near future for screening the general population.
Screening for Breast Cancer: Recommendations and Rationale
TLDR
The USPSTF concludes that the evidence is insufficient to recommend for or against routine CBE alone to screen for breast cancer, and recommends screening mammography, with or without clinical breast examination (CBE), every 1 to 2 years for women aged 40 and older.
Coverage and Factors Associated With Cervical Cancer Screening: Results From the AFRODITA Study: A Population-Based Survey in Spain
TLDR
In Spain, the coverage of cytological screening reached 75% of the population, but with inefficiencies in some aspects, and an overuse of cytology can be assumed, as a result of opportunistic screening.
