Evaluating a centralised cancer support centre in the remote region of Northern Norway.

CONCLUSION: The cancer support centre was highly valued by patients and their relatives for meeting peers. The centre was most frequently visited by and most popular among women and those self-reporting strong social networks. Access to oncology doctors and nurses in this setting could be valuable. Participants living in remote areas had similar characteristics and evaluated the support centre similarly to those living in more urban areas. PMID: 32873049 [PubMed - in process]
