Previous studies of the relationship between cancer stage, age, and race
have not controlled for social class and health care setting. Logistic
regression analyses, using information from the New York State Tumor Registry
and area-level social class indicators, demonstrated that, in New York
City, older Black, lower class women in public hospitals were 3.75 and
2.54 times more likely to have late stage breast or cervical cancer, respectively,
than were younger White, high social class women in non-public hospitals.
