Description
Mohammad Sorowar Hossain and co-authors report the 2026 study of delays in breast cancer diagnosis in Bangladesh. Many women there learn they have cancer only at a late stage, when care works less well.
The study drew 355 women at two large cancer centers in Dhaka. Over half, 55.7 percent, waited more than four months from first signs to treatment start in this group. Delays by patients linked to low schooling, low income, and having no breast pain. Delays by providers linked to living in the countryside and having nipple discharge. The work names clear points where the system could speed up.
