- Resumen: Early cancer diagnosis is crucial to improving disease prognosis. Although several studies have investigated the relationship between socioeconomic position (SEP) and stage at diagnosis, there is limited evidence from contexts with highly fragmented health systems and pronounced socioeconomic inequalities. This study analyzed the association between SEP and stage of cancer diagnosis. Data were obtained from the EquityCancer-LA baseline study. The sample included patients aged 18 or older with a confirmed cancer diagnosis within the 12 months prior to participation. Cancer stage was determined by the oncology committees of participating healthcare centers and logistic regression models were used to assess the association between SEP and cancer stage at diagnosis. A total of 343 individuals participated in the study, 39.1% of whom were diagnosed at a late stage. Two SEP indicators were associated with this outcome. After adjusting for covariates, participants without formal income had higher odds of late-stage diagnosis (OR = 2.14; 95% CI 1.02–4.53), and those who were non-head of household (OR = 1.83; 95% CI 1.11–3.02). When adjusting for all SEP variables, only non–head of household condition remained significantly associated (OR = 1.77; 95% CI 1.07–2.96). These results show that disadvantaged SEP was associated with higher odds of late-stage cancer diagnosis. The findings suggest the need for strategies that promote early diagnosis and address the socioeconomic inequities identified in this study.},

- Resumen: Breast density (BD) is one of the major risk factors for breast cancer (BC) and has the potential to be used as an early marker. Puberty is a critical period for carcinogenesis, and identifying events that modify BD during this stage could aid in understanding future BC risk. The consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has been associated with BC; however, evidence of their effect on BD, particularly in adolescents, is lacking. To assess the association between the intake of UPFs during the peripubertal period and BD measured at 4 years after menarche onset, absolute fibroglandular volume (AFGV) and the percentage of fibroglandular volume (%FGV) were used. The Growth and Obesity Cohort Study is a longitudinal study of 550 girls recruited in 2006 at daycare centers in the southeastern area of Santiago, Chile.

- Resumen: Although the greatest delays in cancer diagnosis in Latin America occur in the provider interval little is known about the related factors. This study aims to analyze factors influencing access to cancer diagnosis -from initial contact with health services to confirmation- from institutional stakeholders' perspective in public healthcare networks of Chile, Colombia, and Ecuador. A qualitative, descriptive-interpretative study was conducted in two networks per country, using semi-structured individual interviews (n = 118; 23 to 58, per country) with a criterion sample of health professionals and administrative personnel from primary care (PC) (n = 41) and secondary/tertiary care hospitals (n = 47), network managers and policymakers (n = 30). The final sample size was reached through saturation. Thematic content analysis was performed, segmented by country. The analysis reveals interacting factors that cause cumulative delays throughout the patient's diagnostic pathway within healthcare networks, with differences between countries. In all three, informants identify similar characteristics of the networks: structural (deficits in diagnostic resources; geographical accessibility), organizational factors (long waiting times, especially after referral), and the limited knowledge and experience of PC doctors, which all lead to delayed diagnosis. In Chile and Colombia, health policy barriers related to care rationing/prioritization policies that hampered access to tests, and in Chile, increased delays for non-prioritized conditions. Country-specific barriers related to the organization of healthcare system also emerge: in Chile, private services subcontracting and the voucher system for using them; in Colombia, the management of care by insurers (care authorizations; fragmented and short-term contracting of providers); and in Ecuador, underfunding of the system. The barriers most affect the elderly, those with low socioeconomic status, with limited support networks, and rural areas residents. The results reveal relevant barriers in access to timely cancer diagnosis which can and should be addressed with specific cancer diagnosis policies and general measures that strengthen public healthcare systems and networks.

A qualitative, descriptive-interpretative study was conducted in two networks per country, using semi-structured individual interviews (n = 118; 23 to 58, per country) with a criterion sample of health professionals and administrative personnel from primary care (PC) (n = 41) and secondary/tertiary care hospitals (n = 47), network managers and policymakers (n = 30). The final sample size was reached through saturation. Thematic content analysis was performed, segmented by country. The analysis reveals interacting factors that cause cumulative delays throughout the patient's diagnostic pathway within healthcare networks, with differences between countries. In all three, informants identify similar characteristics of the networks: structural (deficits in diagnostic resources; geographical accessibility), organizational factors (long waiting times, especially after referral), and the limited knowledge and experience of PC doctors, which all lead to delayed diagnosis. In Chile and Colombia, health policy barriers related to care rationing/prioritization policies that hampered access to tests, and in Chile, increased delays for non-prioritized conditions. Country-specific barriers related to the organization of healthcare system also emerge: in Chile, private services subcontracting and the voucher system for using them; in Colombia, the management of care by insurers (care authorizations; fragmented and short-term contracting of providers); and in Ecuador, underfunding of the system. The barriers most affect the elderly, those with low socioeconomic status, with limited support networks, and rural areas residents. The results reveal relevant barriers in access to timely cancer diagnosis which can and should be addressed with specific cancer diagnosis policies and general measures that strengthen public healthcare systems and networks.

- Resumen: Whether trace metals modify breast density, the strongest predictor for breast cancer, during critical developmental stages such as puberty remains understudied. Our study prospectively evaluated the association between trace metals at Tanner breast stage B1 (n = 291) and at stages both B1 and B4 (n = 253) and breast density at 2 years post-menarche among Chilean girls from the Growth and Obesity Cohort Study. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry assessed the volume of dense breast tissue (absolute fibroglandular volume [FGV]) and percent breast density (%FGV). Urine trace metals included arsenic, barium, cadmium, cobalt, cesium, copper, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, lead, antimony, selenium, tin, thallium, vanadium, and zinc. At B1, a doubling of thallium concentration resulted in 13.69 cm3 increase in absolute FGV (β: 13.69, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.81, 24.52), while a doubling of lead concentration resulted in a 7.76 cm3 decrease in absolute FGV (β: -7.76, 95%CI: -14.71, -0.73). At B4, a doubling of barium concentration was associated with a 10.06 cm3 increase (β: 10.06, 95% CI: 1.44, 18.60), copper concentration with a 12.29 cm3 increase (β: 12.29, 95% CI: 2.78, 21.56), lead concentration with a 9.86 cm3 increase (β: 9.86, 95% CI: 0.73, 18.98), antimony concentration with a 12.97 cm3 increase (β: 12.97, 95% CI: 1.98, 23.79) and vanadium concentration with a 13.14 cm3 increase in absolute FGV (β: 13.14, 95% CI: 2.73, 23.58). Trace metals may affect pubertal breast density at varying developmental stages with implications for increased susceptibility for breast cancer.
