Unmasking Disparities in Gallbladder Cancer Outcomes in the Disaggregated Asian American Population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is associated with a high mortality rate. Asian American (AsA) are among the fastest-growing populations in the United States, yet little is known about the disparity of GBC within this cohort. This study identified trends in treatment and outcomes for GBC in a disaggregated fashion, specifically for this population.

Methods

A retrospective analysis of the National Cancer Database (NCDB) between 2010 and 2019 examining all patients treated for gallbladder cancer was performed. Basic demographic factors were identified for patients of Caucasian, African American, and disaggregated Asian subpopulations. Survival curves were used to identify differences in median overall survival, and a multivariate analysis was performed to determine which f
