According to the U.S. Census, about 20% of the population (66 million people) live in rural areas. In these settings, healthcare infrastructure is often limited, and specialty services may be hours away.

These distances matter. Rural residents experience higher cancer mortality rates, lower screening rates, and are more likely to be diagnosed at later stages than people living in urban areas. Addressing these disparities is essential to achieving a more equitable cancer care system.
