Previous analyses of the radiation oncology (RO) workforce have focused on gross numbers and not geographic distribution. We investigated trends in the geographic distribution of the radiation oncology workforce across the United States. Additionally, we assessed the impact of geographic variations in the RO workforce on prostate cancer management and outcomes. We hypothesized that geographic variations in the workforce would be associated with prostate cancer management and prostate-cancer mortality. We used the Area Resource File to calculate and map the ratio of radiation oncologists to the population aged 65 or older (ROR) within different health service areas (HSA) across the United States from 1995-2007. Multivariate regression models...
