Abstract

Objective: To characterize the migratory flow of Mexican men affiliated to Seguro Popular (SP) seeking medical care for prostate cancer (PC).

Materials and methods: The administrative base for the treatment of incident CP (5 526 men) funded by the SP (2012-2016) was used. Oncological risk at diagnosis (low, intermediate, high) was estimated based on prostate-specific antigen, Gleason score, and clinical stage. Spatial network analysis and centrality measures were used to identify the health migratory flow.

Results: 1 369 men sought treatment outside their state of residence, all of them with a diagnosis of PC (25%), mainly <65 years of age, high-risk PC, and residents of highly marginalized municipalities. Throughout the study period, Mexico City (closeness-in=0.34) received the largest number of patients (importance-in=1 082) from 26 different states (degree-in=26). This flow was more evident in patients with a high-risk PC, mainly towards hospitals with a high degree of specialization in cancer.

Conclusions: A centralized migration (with two potential migration patterns) in search of treatment for PC was observed, mainly in men with high-risk PC.
