The impact of demographics, socioeconomics, and health care access on melanoma outcomes

Jose L. Cortez et al.

Summary: Melanoma care in the United States faces disparities in providers, patient demographics, residence, insurance, socioeconomic factors, race/ethnicity, and age, impacting outcomes. Melanomas detected by dermatologists tend to be thinner, at an earlier stage, and have better survival rates. Lower socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, and residence can lead to late-stage melanomas with worse outcomes.

Racial Disparities in Patients with Melanoma: A Multivariate Survival Analysis

Joshua Brady et al.

Summary: In a study of melanoma patients in Wayne County, Michigan, it was found that non-Hispanic black patients had significantly higher melanoma-specific death rates compared to their non-Hispanic white counterparts. However, after adjusting for stage, age, and sex, there was no increased risk of death due to melanoma in non-Hispanic black patients. The increased incidence of melanoma mortality in non-Hispanic black patients is likely due to late-stage diagnosis.
