BUENA PARK, Calif.—A health care organization launched a mobile mammography program in Orange County on Feb. 2 as breast cancer screenings have declined amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, according to a study.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a study in June 2021, citing breast cancer screening declines by 87 percent in April 2020 in comparison to previous five-year averages for the month—with minority groups with low incomes being less likely to receive care.
