Person-centred, equitable and timely breast cancer prevention in women with intellectual disabilities is long overdue and urgently needed [PCC254]

Wednesday May 6, 2026 12:15 - 13:30 Poster Arena

Presenter: Kamila Gielnik Robinson

Track: Poster

Low uptake of breast cancer prevention in women with intellectual disabilities (ID) leads to higher levels of avoidable breast cancer mortality in this group. Behind the low uptake are practices that are not adapted to the needs of women with ID. To support women with ID in breast cancer prevention, evidence-based recommendations must be followed; the recommendations identified in this assignment are linked to most of the themes found in person-centred and patient-centered care. Further analysis leads to the conclusion that person-centred, equitable and timely breast cancer prevention in women with intellectual disabilities is long overdue and urgently needed.
