People with early-onset colorectal cancer who live in impoverished and rural areas have a higher risk of dying from the disease, a population-based study found.
Patients with early-onset colorectal cancer living in rural and impoverished areas face a significantly higher risk of dying from CRC.Previous research has shown that patients living in impoverished and rural areas have an increased risk of dying from CRC, but it is unclear if this trend applies to patients with early-onset CRC.
Of these patients, 1346 lived in rural areas with persistent poverty. Persistent poverty was defined as having 20% or more of the population living below the poverty level for about 30 years, and rural locations were identified using specific US Department of Agriculture codes.The cancer-specific survival at 5 years was highest for patients who lived in neither poverty-stricken nor rural areas and the lowest for those who lived in impoverished areas irrespective of rural status .
