Abstract

BACKGROUND: African American (AA) individuals are less likely to receive treatment and more likely to die from cancer compared with Caucasian (C) individuals. Recent advancements in surgery and radiation have improved outcomes in early stage non-small-cell lung cancer (ESNSCLC). We studied racial disparities in ESNSCLC in the past decade.
