(Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center) A new Dartmouth study shows that patients have lower rates of cancer-specific survival based on where they live and their social determinants of health. The extent to which health insurance can ease the effects of these social determinants on cancer care is the subject of research led by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Cancer Center's Sandra Wong, M.D. Her work, 'The impact of health insurance status on cancer care in disadvantaged communities' was recently published in Cancer.
