Breast and cervical cancer screening in females with spinal cord injury: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Context: Breast and cervical cancer are among the most common types of cancer, with breast cancer being a leading cause of death in females. Participation in preventive cancer screening is thought to be lower for females with spinal cord injury (SCI) compared to the general population, which could lead to late diagnosis and increased mortality.

Objective: To summarize evidence on the prevalence of breast and cervical cancer, adherence to cancer screening recommendations, and factors influencing participation in preventive programs among females with SCI.
