For some cancers, socioeconomic deprivation and the distance to reference care centres have been studied and shown to be predictive factors of access to specialized care [ 14, 15], but to our knowledge this has not been studied for breast cancer.
This project will use data collected from a prepaid group practice model health maintenance organization (HMO) that offers A/C coverage for CMP treatment; in this setting, enabling factors of access (insurance coverage, co-pays, lower out-of-pocket costs) will likely mitigate the influence of economic factors [ 47, 49, 50].
