Sociodemographic Disparities in Rectal Cancer Outcomes within Academic Cancer Centers
This study demonstrated the existence of sociodemographic disparities even within the walls of academic institutions, where care should be evidence-based, standardized, comprehensive, and equitable. When analyzing causal pathways, delays in time to treatment initiation may be contributing to these outcomes, but may be modifiable.
