Findings suggest that thirty percent of BCS may experience barriers to receipt of follow-up mammograms. Additional research is needed to identify strategies that address demographic, enabling, reinforcing, and predisposing factors with the ultimate goal of improving access to follow-up mammography and ensuring the well-being of breast cancer survivors. Practice Implications Cancer surveillance among BCS is vital to improving health outcomes. Provider and practice-based interventions can potentially increase access and engagement with annual screening recommendations.
