A system-based intervention to reduce Black-White disparities in the treatment of early stage lung cancer: A pragmatic trial at five cancer centers
Cancer Medicine Mar 06, 2019
Cykert S, et al. - Despite advances in early diagnosis and curative treatment that have led to a reduction in high mortality rates associated with non-small cell lung cancer, persistence in racial disparity in survival is noted which is partly due to Black patients receiving less curative treatment than White patients. They performed a 5-year pragmatic, trial at five cancer centers using a system-based intervention including 2841 early stage lung cancer patients (16% Black) in the retrospective group and 360 (32% Black) in the intervention group. Outcomes revealed reduced racial gaps and improved care for all with this system-based intervention tested in five cancer centers.
