Associations between patient sociodemographic characteristics and lack of treatment for locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma: results from a complete nationwide, unselected, real-world register study in Denmark
We found significant and measurable inequality in access to treatment for mUC. Among other factors, residence in two relatively rural regions was associated with lower probability of receiving systemic anticancer treatment compared to residence in other regions. In addition, marital status and education level had a significant impact on treatment rates.
