Waiting periods for the initiation of cancer treatment and the factors associated with delays in the Hokushin region of Japan
In the Hokushin region, patients who waited over 30 days are prevalent among female patients with breast cancer compared to other cancer types, and among older adults with lung cancer compared to younger lung cancer patients, as well as in medical institutions with a large number of hospital beds across cancer types. Hence, efforts to reduce this number are needed.
