Cancer Care: Canadian Partnership Against Cancer

Canadian Partnership Against Cancer: The report by the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer , released Thursday, is the first national analysis to show that people living in lower-income areas as well as in rural and remote communities may not be accessing the best cancer care, according to The Star. The findings suggest the disparities are due to inequities in accessing diagnostic and treatment services and Poor urban residents die sooner from cancer than their wealthy neighbours, a major report on Canadas cancer system reveals. It found that the wealthiest urban residents have a 73-per-cent chance of surviving their cancers five years after diagnosis compared with 61 per cent for people living in the poorest urban areas.
