Delays in definitive cervical cancer treatment: An analysis of disparities and overall survival impact.

CONCLUSIONS: Delays in starting RT/CRT for cervical cancer increased from 2004 to 2014. Delays disproportionately affect NHB and Hispanic women. However, increased TTI was not associated with increased mortality for women receiving CRT. Further study of TTI's impact on other endpoints is warranted to determine if TTI represents an important quality indicator. PMID: 29605051 [PubMed - in process]
