Around the nation, patients in rural areas face a higher rate of cancer death than in urban communities—despite having fewer new cases overall. While there are multiple contributing factors, one of the most significant is access: Only 5.6% of the nation’s oncologists practice in rural areas, where 15 percent of U.S. residents live.
