Treatment and Survival Disparities in the National Cancer Institute's Patterns of Care Study (1987-2017).
Cancer Investigation 2018
BACKGROUND: Cancer health services research is a primary tool for analyzing the association between various factors, cancer health care delivery, and the resultant outcomes. To address disparities strategies must be developed to target factors that are related to differences in care; however, to date, most disparities studies have been descriptive. The primary objective was to describe cancer treatment and survival disparities in community oncology practice patterns found in the National Cancer Institute's population-based Patterns of Care (POC) Study (1987-2017). Secondarily, we compared POC findings to peer-reviewed literature. In POC data, older age was consistently associated with decreased odds of treatment and increased mortality. Interestingly, in contrast to current literature, few POC studies found race/ethnicity significantly predicted disparities. Cancer health disparities are complex; they are multifactorial, differ by cancer site and may wax and wane. The complexity supports the need for deeper understanding and targeted interventions to ensure equitable cancer care and outcomes.
