ExpandPatients Diagnosed with Autism Are Less Likely to Receive On-Time Cancer Screening, Except for Colorectal Cancer
Among patients newly eligible for cancer screening, those diagnosed with autism had a 35.6% lower likelihood of on-time screening overall compared to patients without autism. The gap was largest for cervical (50.7% lower likelihood) and breast (28.7% lower likelihood) cancer screening, and smaller but still significant for prostate cancer screening (14.9% lower likelihood).
