Up-to-date mammography screening reached 55.98% nationwide, with non-Hispanic Black women having the highest uptake at 60.78% and Asian women the lowest at 48.68%.
Multilevel logistic regression modeling of surveillance data across 72,429 census tracts showed the lowest regional screening in the West and the highest in the South.
Highlights that persistent racial disparities in breast cancer mortality likely stem from inequities across the cancer care continuum rather than lower initial screening.

Implication

Cross-sectional analysis reveals higher mammography screening among Black women and Southern residents, indicating that breast cancer mortality gaps stem from downstream care barriers.
