Cancer health disparities and equity Systematic differences in who gets cancer, how early it is found and who survives, driven by race, income, geography, insurance and structural racism rather than biology alone. | none | none | none | ||
Exercise is the best-evidenced thing on this front, and most survivors are not doing it Structured exercise has the strongest evidence of any recovery intervention, including a randomised survival benefit in colon cancer. In a population survey of blood cancer survivors, 46 per cent met neither the aerobic nor the strength guideline and 22 per cent met both, and meeting both was associated with having been to university. | Colorectal cancer, HR-positive / HER2-negative breast cancer, Prostate cancer | none | rejuvenation, survivorship, measurement | ||

Money after treatment: what the cost of cancer does once the treatment has finished In a United States cohort covering 231,596 people diagnosed between 1995 and 2009, those who filed for bankruptcy after a cancer diagnosis had a mortality hazard ratio of 1.79 against propensity-matched people who did not. In a national survey of people over 50, 42.4 per cent had depleted their entire assets two years after diagnosis, losing an average of 92,098 dollars. | Colorectal cancer, Prostate cancer, Thyroid cancer | none | rejuvenation, survivorship, psychosocial | ||
Referral to rehabilitation: the service most people who need it never see Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and swallowing therapy and lymphoedema services are the treatments for most of what cancer treatment leaves behind. The measured use of them after cancer treatment is a small fraction of the measured need, and the people delivering them say they were not trained for it. | Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, HR-positive / HER2-negative breast cancer, Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia | none | rejuvenation, survivorship, measurement | ||
Who gets told about fertility before treatment, and who does not Fertility preservation has to happen before treatment starts, which makes it the most time-critical part of recovery care and the easiest to miss. Published United States rates of even having the conversation range from 9 per cent to 75 per cent depending on where a young woman is treated. | HR-positive / HER2-negative breast cancer, Hodgkin lymphoma, Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia | none | rejuvenation, survivorship, measurement | ||
Who misses out on recovery care, measured Every part of recovery care is unevenly distributed, and the pattern repeats: people with less money, less education, more disability, who live further away or whose cancer is less common get less of it. These are measured gaps with sources, not an impression. | HR-positive / HER2-negative breast cancer, Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma | none | rejuvenation, survivorship, measurement |
