BACKGROUND: Rurality and distance from cancer treatment centres have been shown
to negatively impact cancer outcomes, but the mechanisms remain obscure. METHODS:
We analysed the impact of travel time to key healthcare facilities and
mainland/island residency on the cancer diagnostic pathway (treatment within 62
days of referral, and within 31 days of diagnosis) and 1-year mortality using a
data-linkage study with 12?339 patients. RESULTS: After controlling for important
confounders, mainland patients with more than 60?min of travelling time to their
cancer treatment centre ((OR 1.42; 95% CI 1.25-1.61) and island dwellers (OR
1.32; 95% CI 1.09-1.59) were more likely to commence cancer treatment within 62
days of general practitioner (GP) referral and within 31 days of their cancer
diagnosis compared with those living within 15?min. Island-dweller patients were
more likely to have their diagnosis and treatment started on the same or next day
(OR 1.72; 95% CI 1.31-2.25). Increased travelling time to a cancer treatment
centre was associated with increased mortality to 1 year (30-59?min (HR 1.21; 95%
CI 1.05-1.41), >60?min (HR 1.18; 95% CI 1.03-1.36), island dweller (HR 1.17; 95%
CI 0.97-1.41). CONCLUSIONS: Island dwelling and greater mainland travel burden
was associated with more rapid cancer diagnosis and treatment following GP
referral even after adjustment for advanced disease; however, these patients also
experienced a survival disadvantage compared with those living nearer. Cancer
services may need to be better configured to suit the different needs of
dispersed populations.
