Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the relationship between the Index of Social Responsibility (ISR) and the diagnosis of cervical cancer in 645 municipalities in Sao Paulo, Brazil, focusing on factors like stage, age, and morphology.
- Data from 9,095 women aged 30 and older was analyzed, revealing that higher ISR levels correlated with an increased proportion of early-stage diagnoses and a greater likelihood of younger women being diagnosed in wealthier areas.
- The findings suggest that the ISR is a valuable health indicator for identifying social determinants affecting cervical cancer diagnosis, emphasizing that better social conditions lead to a higher diagnosis rate of stage I cervical cancer.
