Racial disparities in treatments and mortality among a large population-based cohort of older men and women with colorectal cancer
2022, Cancer Treatment and Research CommunicationsCitation Excerpt :Over the past several decades, numerous studies have reported racial or ethnic disparities in health care utilization and mortality in the United States [1–22].
Racial and Socioeconomic Disparities After Surgical Resection for Rectal Cancer
2020, Journal of Surgical ResearchSurveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-based analysis of the impact of preoperative or postoperative radiotherapy on survival outcomes for T3N0 rectal cancer
2014, Cancer EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :In fact, one possible interpretation is that the elderly have actually been historically undertreated with perioperative RT, and that more aggressive adjuvant therapy should be encouraged. In terms of other demographic factors, our finding that black race is a significant risk factor for poorer prognosis among patients with rectal cancer has been demonstrated in a number of other studies [18–20]. Conversely, our finding that Asian race was associated with improved CSS has not been previously described and should encourage future studies to expand their scope of racial analysis.
Ethnic disparities are reduced in VA colon cancer patients
2010, American Journal of SurgeryCitation Excerpt :After resection, African American patients are 10% less likely to receive adjuvant therapy for stage III disease.11 These factors all contribute to worse 5-year cancer-related survival for African American patients.12,13 In the present study, there was no difference in 5-year survival for African American colon cancer patients.
Racial Disparities in Colorectal Cancer
2007, Current Problems in CancerCitation Excerpt :In several population-based studies in which quality of surgery was not well controlled, blacks with localized stage I and II colon cancer have an excess mortality. This is likely attributable to understaging among blacks and different quality of surgical care.24-26 The existence of these differences in the quality of care received is most concerning.
