Do Rural Patients with Early Stage Prostate Cancer Gain Access to All Treatment Choices?
Description:
This research used cancer registry data from 10 states to examine the degree to which rural residents diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer access the full range of surveillance, surgical, and radiation treatment options. Study findings informed cancer centers, advocacy groups, rural program planners, and policymakers about services and programs needed to ensure that rural prostate cancer patients can choose from among all treatment options.
