Abstract
We found that referral pathways of patients with cancer in rural Ethiopia were largely cohesive. The majority of patients referred for diagnostic or treatment services followed the advice. Nevertheless, an unacceptable number of patients remained without any treatment. Capacity for cancer diagnosis and treatment at primary- and secondary-level health facilities in rural Ethiopia must be expanded to enable early detection and timely care.
