Geographic location of a patient directly impacts access to care, including preventive screenings and early detection. Although there is a higher prevalence of the most common cancers in urban areas, mortality rates are higher in rural communities. Notably, indigenous communities residing on tribal lands often experience heightened access issues and environmental exposure to known and probable human carcinogens. The burdens associated with a cancer diagnosis can be exacerbated by various barriers to accessing quality care; however, there are emerging best practices to overcome these barriers. Understanding the interplay between geography and a patient's access to cancer care services is crucial for addressing existing disparities and ensuring equitable health care provision across regions. By leveraging innovative policy and practice solutions, communities can begin to close care gaps and establish bidirectional trust between patients and providers across the care continuum, which is necessary to enact meaningful reforms. To advance the conversation on geographic disparities and strategies that mitigate associated barriers to care, NCCN hosted the Policy Summit "Cancer Across Geography" on June 15, 2023, at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. Through keynote addresses and multistakeholder panel discussions, this hybrid event explored care imbalances across geography, recent policy and technology advancements, and current challenges associated with cancer care. This created a forum for a diverse group of attendees to thoughtfully discuss policies and practices to advance high-quality, effective, efficient, equitable, and accessible cancer care for all. Speakers and attendees featured multidisciplinary clinicians, epidemiologists, community oncologists, researchers, payers, patient advocates, industry, providers, policymakers, and leaders representing underserved communities, among others.
