Association of distance, region, and insurance with advanced colon cancer at initial diagnosis

Abstract

In the US, more than 100 000 new colon cancer diagnoses and 35 000 colon cancer deaths are estimated to occur each year. Less than 40% of patients with new diagnoses will have early-stage disease, which has a 5-year overall survival as high as 90%. There is a need to identify interventions to promote the early diagnosis of colon cancer.
