Cancer stage at diagnosis, treatment delay, and breast cancer mortality vary by insurance status. Using the Missouri Cancer Registry, the analysis included 31,485 women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2015. Odds ratios (ORs) of late-stage (stage III-IV) diagnosis and treatment delay (>60 days after diagnosis) were calculated using logistic regression. We calculated the hazard ratio (HR) of breast cancer mortality using Cox proportional hazards regression. Mediation analysis was used to quantify the individual contributions of each covariate on mortality. The OR of late-stage diagnosis was higher for patients with Medicaid (OR=1.72, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.56–1.91) and no insurance (OR=2.30, 95% CI: 1.91–2.78), compared to privately insured patients. Medicare (OR=1.21, 95% CI: 1.10–1.37), Medicaid (OR=1.60, 95% CI: 1.37–1.85) and uninsured (OR=1.58, 95% CI: 1.18–2.12) patients had higher odds of treatment delay. The HR of breast cancer-specific mortality was significantly increased in the groups of public insurance and no insurance, decreasing after sequential adjustment for sociodemographic factors (HR=2.39, 95% CI: 1.96–2.91), tumor characteristics (HR=1.28, 95% CI: 1.05–1.56), and treatment (HR=1.23, 95% CI: 1.01–1.50). Late-stage diagnosis accounted for 72.5% of breast cancer mortality in the uninsured. Compared to the privately insured, women with public or no insurance had higher risk of advanced breast cancer and a >60-day treatment delay, and death from breast cancer. Particularly for the uninsured, Medicaid expansion and increased funding for education and screening programs could decrease breast cancer disparities. For breast cancer patients in Missouri, we found significant increases in the risks of late stage diagnosis, >60 day treatment delay, and breast cancer-specific mortality for Medicaid-insured and uninsured patients, compared to privately insured patients. Medicaid expansion and increased funding to screening and education programs could help reduce the disparity gap in breast cancer care and outcomes for the uninsured in Missouri.
