摘要
Aim: To describe delay intervals, their impact on clinical stage and initiation of first oncologic treatment, and evaluate associated factors in breast cancer patients in Yucatan, Mexico, a low-density population region. Patients & methods: A retrospective analysis was done of 92 medical records, and bivariate and multivariate models applied to identify associations between healthcare delay and several factors. Results: System delay accounted for most of the delay (median: 86 days; 61% of delay). Socioeconomic status and delivery to tertiary-care hospital predicted delay. Clinical stage determined initiation of first oncologic treatment. Conclusion: Delay in treatment was largely due to system delay. Only a few variables explained this delay. Clinical stage had the strongest effect on initiation of first oncologic treatment. [GRAPHICS] .
