Rural/urban residence and childhood and adolescent cancer survival in the United States

Cancer Jan 17, 2019

Delavar A, et al. - The authors examined childhood and adolescent cancer survival by rural/urban residence as defined by Rural-Urban Continuum Codes (RUCCs) using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results 18 registries database. They identified 41,879 cancer cases (approximately 54.7% non-Hispanic white, 54.3% male and 90.4% from a metropolitan county) who were diagnosed at ages birth to 19 years with a first primary malignant cancer from 2000 through 2010. In the United States, findings revealed no variation in childhood and adolescent cancer survival by rural/urban residence at the time of diagnosis. This may be due to the widespread availability of public health insurance for children and adolescents and a nationwide network of pediatric cancer providers.
