Residential mobility and geospatial disparities in colon cancer survival
Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention Sep 07, 2020
Wiese D, Stroup AM, Maiti A, et al. - This study was intended to present residential mobility and geospatial disparities in colon cancer survival. Between 2006 and 2011, researchers examined data of 3,949 regional-stage colon cancer cases and followed until December 31, 2016, were obtained from the New Jersey State Cancer Registry. Researchers compared geographic disparity based on the spatial variance and effect sizes from a Bayesian spatial model using residence at diagnosis with a time-varying spatial model using residential histories [adjusted for sex, gender, substage, race/ethnicity, and census tract (CT) poverty]. The data exhibited that including residential mobility may allow for more precise estimates of the spatial risk of death. In New Jersey, outcomes based on the traditional approach applying for the only residence at diagnosis were not substantially different for regional stage colon cancer.
