Access to preventive health care for cancer survivors.
The researchers evaluated the association between cancer survivorship and access to primary and preventive health care. They concluded that, although access and preventive care use in cancer survivors is generally equivalent or greater compared to that of other individuals, disparities for uninsured and publicly insured cancer survivors aged 18-64 years suggest that improvements in survivor care are needed.
