Abstract
We compared behavioral risk factors and preventive measures among female breast cancer survivors, female survivors of other types of cancers, and women without a history of cancer. Survivorship health care indicators for the 2 groups of cancer survivors were compared. Using data from the 2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, we calculated the proportion of women with risk factors and their engagement in preventive practices, stratified by cancer status (cancer survivors or women with no history of cancer), and compared the proportions after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics. A significantly higher proportion of breast cancer survivors had mammography in the previous year (79.5%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 76.0%-83.0%) than did other cancer survivors (68.1%; 95% CI, 65.6%-70.7%) or women with no history of cancer (66.4%; 95% CI, 65.5%-67.3%). Breast cancer survivors were also more likely to have had a Papanicolaou (Pap) test within the previous 3 years than women with no history of cancer (89.4%; 95% CI, 85.9%-93.0 vs 85.1%; 95% CI, 84.4%-85.8%) and a colonoscopy within the previous 10 years (75.4%; 95% CI, 71.7%-79.0%) than women with no history of cancer (60.0%; 95% CI, 59.0%-61.0%).
