The association of travel distance and other patient characteristics with breast cancer stage at diagnosis and treatment completion at a rural Rwandan cancer facility by Kayleigh Bhangdia, Abirami Natarajan, Niclas Rudolfson, Stéphane Verguet, Marcia C. Castro, Jean-Marie Vianney Dusengimana, Cyprien Shyirambere, Lauren E. Schleimer, Lawrence N. Shulman, Aline Umwizerwa, Catherine Kigonya, John Butonzi, Emily MacDuffie, Temidayo Fadelu, Daniel S. O’Neil, Cam Nguyen, Tharcisse Mpunga, Nancy L. Keating, Lydia E. Pace

“…In adjusted analyses, travel distance and poverty were not linearly associated with treatment completion. Conclusions At Rwanda’s first public cancer facility, sector-level poverty and longer travel distances were associated with late-stage breast cancer diagnoses, but less clearly associated with treatment completion, perhaps partly due to travel stipends provided to the lowest-income individuals undergoing treatment. …”
