Trends in radical prostatectomy: centralization, robotics, and access to urologic cancer careKaryn B Stitzenberg

Cancer 118:54-62. 2012..Robotic surgery has been widely adopted for radical prostatectomy. We hypothesized that this change is rapidly shifting procedures away from hospitals that do not offer robotics and consequently increasing patient travel...

Centralization of cancer surgery: implications for patient access to optimal careKaryn B Stitzenberg
Department of SurgicalOncology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 7213, USA
J Clin Oncol 27:4671-8. 2009..We hypothesized that in response cancer surgery has become increasingly centralized and that this centralization has resulted in increased travel burden for patients...
