Abstract
A long travel time to the cancer centre may create a barrier to access. In a retrospective analysis of 514 patients with stage IIIB and IV NSCLC, proximity to the cancer centre and winter season had no impact on the uptake of systemic therapy or overall survival. Centralization of medical oncology services does not limit uptake of available care options.
