Determinants of survival in women diagnosed with breast cancer between 2008 and 2017: An analysis of a cohort using data from four Population-Based Cancer Registries of Colombia.

Background: Breast Cancer (BC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Population-Based Cancer Registries (PBCRs) play a crucial role in monitoring cancer trends and guiding evaluation and planning of cancer control programs. In Colombia, there are no national analyses of BC survival.

Perception about barriers and facilitators of the school-based HPV vaccine program of Manizales, Colombia: A qualitative study in school-enrolled girls and their parents.

In 2012, Colombia implemented a school-based HPV vaccination program of a 3-dose series for nine year old girls. Following a mass psychogenic response after vaccination in a Colombian town, vaccination rates dropped from 80% in 2012-2013 to 5% in 2016. The study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators of HPV vaccine uptake among girls eligible for vaccination in the initial years of vaccine implementation from 2012 to 2014, and their parents.

Health inequities and cancer survival in Manizales, Colombia: a population-based study.

Objective: To analyze differences in survival of breast, cervical, lung, prostate and stomach cancer by health insurance regime (HIR) and socioeconomic position (SEP) in an intermediate city in a middle-income country.

Methods: All patients with breast, cervix uteri, lung, prostate and stomach cancer diagnosed between 2003 and 2007 and characterized by the Manizales population-based Cancer Registry (MCR) were included and followed up to a maximum of 5 years for identifying deaths. Survival probabilities estimated by HIR were defined according to the type of affiliation at the date of diagnosis, and by socioeconomic stratification of residence (SS) as indicator of SEP, stratifying for other prognostic factors using Kaplan-Meier methods.
