Summary/Abstract: Differentiation in access to health care services is a serious challenge for health systems in all countries of the world. The article attempts to assess the accessibility of oncological treatment in a spatial arrangement of Polish regions using DEA method. As a measure of access the level of deaths was adopted and as the primary barrier to access the number of beds and doctors. Data from the Central Statistical Office for 2013 were used. The results allow assessing the spatial differentiation of access to oncological treatment and the required changes in the resources (doctors and beds) to improve the access.
