Rural and Urban Differences in Prostate Cancer Recurrence
In this cohort study of patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer, rural patients with prostate cancer had higher rates of biochemical recurrence. The etiology of this disparity is unclear but is likely multifactorial. Factors that may play a role include socioeconomic status, delay and disruptions in care, and access to multidisciplinary cancer care.
