Knowledge of cancer survival disparities and CT enrollment is important for designing interventions and innovative approaches to address the stated barriers. The study explores the potential disparities in cancer survival rates and clinical trial enrollments in rural and urban breast and lung cancer patients. Our hypotheses are that for both cancer types, urban cancer patients will have longer 5-year survival rates and higher enrollment rates in clinical trials than those in… More >
