Stage at diagnosis and cancer-specific survival for stomach, lung, colorectal, and bladder cancers among Armenians in California
Recently an article was published on Preventive Medicine titled “Stage at diagnosis and cancer-specific survival for stomach, lung, colorectal, and bladder cancers among Armenians in California.”
Authors: Ani Movsisyan Vernon et al.
This study is the first to consider late-stage cancer and survival among the Armenian population in California, the state with the largest population of Armenians in the United States. We found that Armenian patients had higher odds of late-stage cancer diagnoses and moderately better cancer-specific survival compared to non-Armenian, non-Hispanic White patients. Among Armenian patients, we found that low neighborhood socioeconomic status was associated with late-stage cancer diagnoses, and patients with public health insurance had higher odds of late-stage diagnoses than those with private insurance. Our findings suggest the need for increased access to care, cancer screening, and culturally competent prevention programs.
