Chalothorn Wannaphut, Internal Medicine Resident at the John A. Burns School of Medicine, shared a post on X about a paper she co-authored with colleagues, published in Cancer Epidemiology:
“Presenting our study at the ASCO Quality Care Symposium (ASCOQLTY25)!
NSCLC survival disparities revealed distinct outcomes among Asian and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander patients (NHPI)
Chinese had the lowest risk of death (aHR 0.82, p =0.003, adjusted for treatment).
NHPI had the highest risk (aHR 1.14, p = 0.016), likely driven by higher rates of underinsurance or lack of insurance, but the difference was no longer significant after adjusting for treatment.
Asian populations are not homogeneous.
Now published in Cancer Epidemiology.
Poster G13 (Session B), 12:15 – 1:30 PM – looking forward to connecting!”
