Geographic disparities significantly impact access to cancer care, particularly for individuals living in rural and underserved areas. These regions often lack specialized cancer treatment facilities, leading to longer travel times and increased financial burdens for patients seeking care. Additionally, rural healthcare providers may have limited access to the latest medical technologies and emerging treatments, which can affect the quality of care provided. Telemedicine has emerged as a potential solution to bridge some of these gaps, but its implementation remains uneven across different regions.
