Despite the overall decline in lung cancer incidence and mortality, minority populations continue to bear a higher disease burden. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States and disproportionately impacts minority populations. Social determinants of health-including low-socioeconomic status, lack of health insurance, and access to health care- disproportionately impact racial, ethnic, and rural populations resulting in direct consequences on lung cancer disparities.
尽管肺癌的发病率和死亡率总体呈下降趋势，但少数族裔群体仍然承受着更高的疾病负担。肺癌仍然是美国癌症相关死亡的主要原因，并且不成比例地影响少数族裔群体。健康的社会决定因素，包括低社会经济地位、缺乏医疗保险和获得医疗保健的机会，不成比例地影响着种族、民族和农村人口，直接导致了肺癌差异的产生。
