Social disparities in lung cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survival have been studied using national databases, statewide registries, and institution-level data. Some disparities emerge consistently, such as lower adherence to treatment guidelines and worse survival by race and socioeconomic status, whereas other disparities are less well studied. A critical appraisal of current data is essential to increasing equity in lung cancer care.
社会不平等现象在肺癌的诊断、治疗和生存方面已经通过国家数据库、全州范围的登记处和机构层面的数据进行了研究。一些差异是一致的,例如种族和社会经济地位与治疗指南的遵循率较低以及生存率较差,而其他差异则研究得较少。对现有数据进行批判性评估对于增加肺癌护理的公平性至关重要。
