Rural women are six times more likely to get timely breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screening with remote outreach that involves interactive education and follow-up support by telephone, according to a new study.
The University of Kansas Cancer Center and its outreach network, the Masonic Cancer Alliance, announced a new effort to provide cancer screening throughout the cancer center’s catchment area. Known as HOPE on Wheels: Health, Outreach, Prevention, and Education, a 42-foot bus will help ensure that geography isn’t a barrier to detecting cancers earlier.
