Résumé : | Advances in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer have paralleled signif- icant developments in the understanding of tumour biology, pathophysiology, and genomics. In spite of this, cancer remains the lead- ing cause of death in Canada, with an estimated two in five Canadians expected to be diagnosed with cancer and one in four Canadians expected to die of cancer in their lifetime. Although Canada has a pub- licly funded, universal healthcare system, profound inequities exist across the country. Such inequities are often due to a multitude of intersecting factors. The focus of this paper is to review the impact of rurality on cancer care. People residing in rural and remote regions are known to have reduced access to and availability of cancer care, from prevention through diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, and palliative care. Potential strategies to mitigate the challenges associated with rurality will be discussed, including an overview of the role that nurses can play in addressing the needs of patients in rural regions. Oncology nurses are well suited to help support patients, their loved ones, and healthcare colleagues in rural settings with a view to helping improve equity in access to care, quality of care, and outcomes of care for all Canadians. |
