What are the geographical barriers to accessing specialty cancer care among young adults with ALL?
Muffly discusses the geographical barriers to receiving specialty cancer care among young adolescent patients with ALL. Research was conducted to quantify the distance between patient residences and treatment centers, such as National Cancer Institute designated cancer centers or Children’s Oncology Group sites. She then discusses the results, highlighting long travel times as a significant geographical barrier to accessing care across the U.S. and concluding that more networks and centers are needed.
