Sarma EA, et al. - Researchers used a new population-based survey of US adults, to assess links between sociodemographic factors and recognition of 11 cancer symptoms. Via an adapted Awareness and Beliefs about Cancer survey, a population-representative sample of English-speaking adults (aged 50 and older) in the US (N = 1,425) was interrogated by performing telephone interviews in 2014. An average of 8.43 symptoms was recognized by the participants as likely signs of cancer. Lower cancer symptom awareness across symptoms was noticed in US adults of lower socioeconomic status. These observations mimic results from other developed countries. In view of low rates of cancer screening, greater symptom awareness for symptoms with lower awareness may afford another way to decreasing cancer burden and disparities, though further work is required to recognize mechanisms by which awareness may have its influences on cancer results.
