“…Conclusions At Rwanda’s first public cancer facility, sector-level poverty and longer travel distances were associated with late-stage breast cancer diagnoses, but less clearly associated with treatment completion, perhaps partly due to travel stipends provided to the lowest-income individuals undergoing treatment. Our findings support further investigation into wider use of travel stipends to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment completion.…”
