This research aims to evaluate racial and ethnic disparities in the stage of gastric cancer at diagnosis in the United States.
Analyzed gastric cancer data from 2009 to 2019 in various populations.
Compared rates of advanced-stage non-cardia gastric cancer among different racial and ethnic groups.
Investigated factors contributing to disparities in early detection.
Significant disparities observed in rates of advanced-stage non-cardia gastric cancer.
Higher rates of late diagnosis noted in specific racial and ethnic populations.
Findings suggest a need for targeted early detection strategies.
Abstract
This study has identified significant disparities in advanced-stage non-cardia GC, suggesting the need to identify strategies to improve early detection in these populations.
