Background
Mounting evidence suggests disproportionate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) hospitalizations and deaths because of racial disparities. The association of race in a cohort of gynecologic oncology patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome‐coronavirus 2 infection is unknown.
Methods
Data were abstracted from gynecologic oncology patients with COVID‐19 infection among 8 New York...
Background
Although communication quality is associated with patient outcomes, racial disparities in communication exist, disproportionately burdening Black patients. However, most communication research focuses on verbal behaviors in predominantly White patient populations. We used a newly developed and theory‐guided network analysis that examines the dynamic interplay and behavioral convergence...
Background
It has been shown that racial/ethnic disparities exist with regard to initiation of and adherence to adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET). However, the relationship among American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) individuals is poorly understood, particularly among those who reside in urban areas. We evaluated whether AET initiation and adherence were lower among AIAN individuals than those of...
BACKGROUND
The enrollment of Black patients in cancer clinical trials continues to trend far below the true prevalence of disease in Black patients in the United States, limiting the generalizability of trial results. A potentially overlooked contributor to the underenrollment of Black patients may be the increasing enrollment of cancer trials in countries outside the United States. However, the...
Background
Massachusetts is a northeastern state with universally mandated health insurance since 2006. Although Black men have generally worse prostate cancer outcomes, emerging data suggest that they may experience equivalent outcomes within a fully insured system. In this setting, the authors analyzed treatments and outcomes of non‐Hispanic White and Black men in Massachusetts.
Methods
White...
Background
As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic continues to spread, it remains unclear how vulnerable populations with preexisting health conditions like cancer have been affected.
Methods
Between July and September of 2020, the authors conducted a cross‐sectional study that surveyed 2661 patients with breast cancer who were registered in the Chicago Multiethnic Epidemiologic Breast...
Background
Non‐Hispanic Blacks continue to have worse cancer outcomes than non‐Hispanic Whites. Suboptimal health care utilization and poor self‐reported health among non‐Hispanic Blacks contribute to these disparities. The relationship between race, food security status (FSS), and health care utilization or self‐reported health among cancer survivors is not clear. This study aims to fill this gap...
