US cancer treatment delays increase

A recent study found that wait times from cancer diagnosis to treatment in the U.S. increased by over ten days for six common cancers between 2012 and 2023. The delays were most notable in stomach and lung cancers, with some groups, including Black patients and those in lower-income areas, experiencing longer wait times. Researchers warned that such delays are linked to higher mortality rates and poorer long-term survival outcomes.
