The impact of race and ethnicity in breast cancer-disparities and implications for precision oncology

Kelly A. Hirko et al.

Summary: Breast cancer, as one of the leading causes of cancer death globally, displays variations in incidence, pathological features, and clinical outcomes across geographical and racial/ethnic populations. However, there is a lack of racial and ethnic diversity in breast cancer clinical trials, with underrepresentation of both Blacks and Hispanics. In this forum article, breast cancer researchers discuss the factors contributing to racial and ethnic disparities in breast cancer and emphasize the specific implications of precision oncology approaches in achieving equitable provision of care and addressing disparities.

Association Between Medicaid Expansion Under the Affordable Care Act and Survival Among Newly Diagnosed Cancer Patients

Xuesong Han et al.

Summary: The expansion of Medicaid is associated with an increase in the 2-year overall survival rate among cancer patients. The survival rate increased by 0.44 percentage points in expansion states, with greater increases observed for colorectal cancer, lung cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, pancreatic cancer, and liver cancer. The survival disparities by race and rurality were also narrowed.

Summary: Every year, the American Cancer Society projects the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths in the United States, with the latest data showing a significant decline in lung cancer mortality, while prostate cancer mortality has plateaued and breast and colorectal cancer mortality have slowed. Improvements in treatment have accelerated progress against lung cancer, leading to a record drop in overall cancer mortality.
