At a public hospital serving the low-income community in Brooklyn, New York, invasive cervical cancer (ICC) was diagnosed in more advanced stages in Haitian and English-speaking Caribbean immigrants than in US-born Black women. In Brooklyn as a whole, only Haitians had more advanced ICC. Fewer Haitians had preinvasive cancer or ICC detected by a Pap test. Data are consistent with less frequent screening among low-income immigrants.
