Utah Sinonasal Cancer Patient Data by Rurality, 1973-2019

156 adult patient records from the Utah Cancer Registry analyze the impact of rurality on access to care for sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma. The data includes patient demographics, treatment modalities, and distance to treatment facilities, with survival analysis comparing Frontier, Rural, and Urban populations. This supplementary material was authored by a figshare admin for Karger and last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between rurality and survival outcomes based on the reported Kaplan-Meier analysis.
• Analyzing disparities in treatment facility distance for Frontier, Rural, and Urban cancer patients.
• Studying the distribution of treatment modalities (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy) across different population densities.
• Investigating demographic patterns (gender, race, ethnicity) within a state-specific sinonasal cancer cohort.

Strengths

• Data covers a 46-year time range from 1973 to 2019.
• Includes specific, quantified rurality classifications (Frontier, Rural, Urban) based on population density.
• Provides concrete statistics on patient demographics, treatment percentages, and survival months.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to being sourced solely from the Utah Cancer Registry.
