The objectives were 1) To describe and compare the incidence of breast cancer in women with and without intellectual disabilities from 2000 to 2014; 2) To describe and compare breast cancer stage at diagnosis in women with and without intellectual disabilities from 2010-2014. Manuscript 1 (Incidence): Through a retrospective cohort methodology, breast cancer incidence in women with intellectual disabilities was found to be not significantly different from women without intellectual disabilities. Manuscript 2 (Stage): A cross sectional study demonstrated women with intellectual disabilities were significantly more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage (II-IV) (odds ratio 1.6; 95%CI=1.03-2.48) when compared to women without intellectual disabilities. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest women with intellectual disabilities have a comparable incidence of breast cancer to women without intellectual disabilities, but they may have an increased risk of being diagnosed at a later stage.","abstract_html":"This thesis examines breast cancer incidence and stage at diagnosis in Ontarians with and without intellectual disabilities.
