Multilevel issues of place and access confront American rural populations and intensify disparities in cancer risk factors, incidence, mortality, and other outcomes. Rural cancer control is a national priority and a key target in any strategic plan to sanction research and policy initiatives to reduce cancer health disparities. CEBP presents this Rural Cancer Control Focus Issue following a recently held NCI-sponsored conference assessing the current state of rural cancer control research.
