Rural-Urban Disparities in Cancer Outcomes: Opportunities for Future Research

Smita Bhatia et al.

Summary: Disparities in cancer care between rural and non-rural populations are increasingly evident and may be worsening due to limited access to advanced cancer services and higher rates of risk factors such as smoking and obesity in rural areas. This review aims to identify knowledge gaps and research priorities for addressing these disparities.

Distance to the pediatric oncology center does not affect survival in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a report from CYP-C

Daphne Lemieux-Sarrasin et al.

Summary: Living in remote areas does not significantly impact survival, relapse rates, or treatment-related complications in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, children in remote areas experience longer latency to see a pediatric oncologist. Further research is needed to determine optimal healthcare organization models for improving cancer outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Disparities in accessibility to evidence-based breast cancer care facilities by rural and urban areas in Bavaria, Germany

Stephanie Stangl et al.

Summary: Disparities in accessibility between rural and urban areas exist in Bavaria, with women from urban areas having higher odds of accessing cancer information counselling, university hospitals, and psycho-oncologists within 30 or 60 minutes. However, women from urban areas had lower odds of accessing (inpatient) rehabilitation centers and genetic counselling within the same timeframe.

Risk and space: modelling the accessibility of stroke centers using day- & nighttime population distribution and different transportation scenarios

S. Rauch et al.

Summary: Rapid accessibility to medical care is crucial in saving lives, especially in the case of strokes. Using GIS, researchers calculated driving times between Stroke Units in Munster, Germany, revealing disparities in accessibility based on urbanization levels and population distribution at different times of the day. Increased average driving speeds are essential for emergency care, with rural residents potentially facing worse accessibility due to hospital centralization.
