Impact of primary care access on mortality of lung cancer patients in an underserved community

American Journal of Clinical Oncology Mar 01, 2019

Su C, et al. - Data from 2012 to 2016 at a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated center in Bronx, NY were researched to obtain the impact of primary care access on mortality in patients subjects with lung cancer. They noticed that primary care shortage areas (PCSAs) residents were probably Hispanics, African Americans, of lower income, and had advanced disease at diagnosis. A higher mortality rate was linked to a lack of established primary care physicians (PCPs) among newly diagnosed lung cancer cases. An increasing population of Hispanics and African Americans in PCSAs suggested that variation in race/ethnicity mortality might be negotiated by primary care shortage. Worse consequences were recorded among subjects without PCPs.
