Key result
Overall survival was significantly worse for black (P=0.0031), Asian (P=0.0182), and white Hispanic (P=0.0051) patients with Ewing sarcoma compared with white non-Hispanic patients.

p-value: p=0.0031, 0.0182, 0.0051
Black, Asian, and white Hispanic patients with Ewing sarcoma have worse overall survival compared to white non-Hispanic patients, highlighting significant racial and ethnic disparities in outcomes.
Worch et al. (2010) conducted a cohort in Ewing sarcoma (n=1,715). Non-white race and ethnicity (Black, Asian, white Hispanic) vs. White non-Hispanic patients was evaluated on Overall survival (p=0.0031, 0.0182, 0.0051). Overall survival was significantly worse for black (P=0.0031), Asian (P=0.0182), and white Hispanic (P=0.0051) patients with Ewing sarcoma compared with white non-Hispanic patients.
