Given the underrepresentation of rural patients in prior research, our study explored cannabis use and perceptions among cancer patients, with a focus on comparing rural and urban\/suburban patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Adult cancer patients at the Penn State Cancer Institute completed an anonymous survey on cannabis use and attitudes. Eligible participants had a cancer diagnosis and had been in active treatment within the previous year. We compared rural and urban\/suburban patients using Fisher\u2019s exact test. The results were further examined using a multivariable logistic regression model, controlling for area of residence and sociodemographic factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among the 186 patients surveyed, 26.1% had used cannabis since diagnosis. Rates were not significantly different between rural and urban\/suburban patients, and area of residence was not associated with cannabis use in multivariable regression analysis. Symptom improvement was reported for insomnia (89.7% of users), appetite (85.7%), mood (83.7%), joint pains\/stiffness (83.3%), stress\/anxiety\/depression (81.6%), cancer-related pain (80.7%) and digestive symptoms (67.9%), with no differences by area of residence. Urban\/suburban patients were more likely to believe that cannabis helps with nausea\/vomiting (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.019), more likely not to use cannabis due to concerns about interactions with medications (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.002), and more likely to obtain cannabis from dispensaries (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.046).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cannabis use was common in our study, with similar rates of use and attitudes towards cannabis between rural and urban\/suburban patients.
