The State of Breast Cancer Reconstruction in Virginia: An Evidence-Based Framework for Identifying Locoregional Health Disparities

Conclusions Within the state of Virginia, programs to improve access to breast reconstruction for patients residing in rural regions, as well as non-White patients, older patients, and those in lower socioeconomic groups should be implemented. Future studies would implement and study the efficacy of such outreach programs, which could then be applied and tailored to other states or regions to address sociodemographic disparities in access to breast reconstruction.
