Geospatial analysis as a tool for identification of potential targetable regions for lung cancer screening interventions in Massachusetts

These results demonstrate the utility of geospatial analysis to detect trends in the incidence of late-stage lung cancer relating to race, age, education, and socioeconomic factors. Importantly, these results can direct location preferences for early intervention efforts including patient/provider education and mobile lung cancer screening clinics, particularly in neighborhoods with lower income and education levels (248/250).
