Description
Chalothorn Wannaphut and co-authors pool studies on racial and ethnic gaps in survival for inflammatory breast cancer. This rare cancer grows fast, spreads early, and has a poor outlook. Reports on whether outcome differs by race had been mixed.
Across fifteen studies, Black patients faced higher death risk than non-Hispanic White patients. Asian and Pacific Islander patients faced lower risk. Hispanic patients showed no clear difference from White patients. The authors say the gaps persist but warn that bias and other uncontrolled factors in observational studies call for care in reading the numbers. Closing such gaps remains an urgent goal.
