Racial disparities in non-small cell lung cancer survival outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have demonstrated disparities in survival outcomes between Black/African American, Asian, and White patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Some studies have suggested that non-White patients have poorer survival outcomes due to socioeconomic factors, while others have reported different findings. Therefore, we performed a comprehensive review and meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of racial disparity on NSCLC survival outcomes.

Method

PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched for articles published until September 2024. Eligible studies with aligned research objectives were included. Two reviewers independently extracted data. Methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The meta-analysis
