Stage of diagnosis of prostate, breast and colorectal cancer in farm residents compared with other rural and urban residents in New South Wales

ConclusionsDifferences in stage of cancer diagnosis, particularly between farm and rural non‐farm men, remain unexplained but were not statistically significant. Farm men may be at higher risk of later stage colorectal cancer diagnosis, which if confirmed has implications for research on possible reasons, and for the delivery of appropriate cancer diagnostic services in rural areas.
