Contribution of Geographic Location to Disparities in Ovarian Cancer Treatment.

CONCLUSIONS: Among California women diagnosed with OC, living closer to a high-quality center was associated with receiving adherent care. Non-Hispanic black women were less likely to receive adherent care, and women with lower SES lived farthest from high-quality hospitals. Geographic location in California is an independent predictor of adherence to NCCN Guidelines for OC. PMID: 31693984 [PubMed - in process]
