Renal Cell Carcinoma Health Disparities in Stage and Mortality among American Indians/Alaska Natives and Hispanic Americans: Comparison of National Cancer Database and Arizona Cancer Registry Data

摘要

This study assessed renal cell carcinoma disparities in American Indians/Alaska Natives and Hispanic Americans using the National Cancer Database and the Arizona Cancer Registry, focusing on advanced-stage and mortality. Renal cell carcinoma disparities in American Indians/Alaska Natives have been partially explained by neighborhood socioeconomic factors and residence (rural or urban) pattern, but not in Hispanic Americans. Greater health disparities in renal cell carcinoma stage and mortality for Hispanic Americans and renal cell carcinoma mortality for American Indians/Alaska Natives were observed at the Arizona state level compared to national levels.
