Why Are Mammography Screening Rates Declining in Vermont?
The University of Vermont is examining why mammography screening rates in Vermont are declining. Researchers and health officials are trying to identify whether the drop reflects pandemic-era disruptions, access barriers, or changing patient attitudes toward breast cancer screening. Lower screening rates raise concerns that breast cancers may be detected later, when treatment is less effective.
Why now: A drop in routine cancer screening in the state has raised public health concerns about late detection of breast cancer.
