AI Summary

A study by the American Cancer Society found that U.S. adults with disabilities who are eligible for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening have lower testing rates than those without disability-related difficulties. The research highlighted that missing routine cancer screening can delay diagnosis and treatment. Among the findings, stool testing for colorectal cancer was 24 % higher in individuals with substantial mobility difficulties, indicating that accessible options such as at‑home self‑collection may help reduce disparities.
