Ladies from poor districts have a reduced chance of being diagnosed sooner for breast cancer than those in richer areas, studies showed yesterday.
That information reveals that they're more likely to have breasts rather than just lumps taken away and are less likely to stay alive for longer.
Professionals disclosed that the information was because of a number of reasons, including choices that patients make about their treatment.
Prof David Forman, who was the leader of the Cancer Research UK survey is quoted as saying in the Mirror: "Women from a more deprived background are diagnosed when the disease is more advanced. This means treatment decisions are more complex."
CRUK's Dr Lesley Walker also added in the newspaper: "Women of all backgrounds are invited for screening after 50. If everyone takes up these invitations there is a better chance breast cancer can be quickly diagnosed and treated."
