Williams CD, Alpert N, Redding TS, et al. - Given that Stage I NSCLC is preferably managed surgically with radiation reserved for those not receiving surgery, and lower rates of surgery have been reported among Blacks with Stage I NSCLC vs among Whites in earlier studies, researchers evaluated the links between race, treatment and survival, using logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models, among black and white men aged ≥ 65 years with stage I NSCLC diagnosed 2001-2009 and selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare database and Veterans Affairs (VA) cancer registry. Findings revealed that the likelihood of receiving surgical treatment was less in Blacks among VA and SEER-Medicare patients. When accounting for treatment, similar survival outcomes were reported among Blacks and Whites.
