“Our findings demonstrate that racial inequities in care can and should be measured, and providers must be made aware of differential practices,” said Marjory Charlot, MD, MPH, MSc. “Monitoring, feedback loops, racial equity training, and patient navigation – essentially an entire system change – appears to be necessary to not only improve treatment rates but also to result in timely care. Additionally, we need to look at multiple opportunities to improve lung cancer outcomes across the continuum – from prevention via smoking cessation, to screening among individuals at high risk for lung cancer, to biomarker testing, radiation, and systemic therapies for advanced disease.”
