Background: We investigated clinical characteristics and prostate cancer survival patterns among Latino patients considering nativity compared with non-Latino Black (NLB) and non-Latino White (NLW) patients.
Methods: We used data from the California Cancer Registry (1995-2021), which included 347,540 NLW, 50,032 NLB, and 75,238 Latino patients with prostate cancer. Frequencies of sociodemographic and clinical variables were assessed using χ2 tests.
To identify nationwide census tract‒level areas where improving colorectal cancer (CRC) screening uptake via targeted local preventive intervention may benefit Hispanic or Latino/a (H/L) groups defined by region or country of origin. Using 2021 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention PLACES and American Community Survey data, we applied geographically weighted regression and Getis-Ord Gi* hot spot procedures to identify CRC screening priority zones for H/L groups in the United States. Priority zones can be conceptualized as census tracts with strong inverse associations between percentage of a particular H/L group in the population and CRC screening rate, after adjusting for socioeconomic deprivation and lack of insurance.

Additionally, population- and individual-level determinants of cancer outcomes among H/L CRC patients will be mapped to highlight under-reported/under-investigated research areas.
Introduction: CRC is the third most common cancer excluding skin cancers in the US.
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in California and second among Hispanic/Latinx (H/L) males. Data from the California Cancer Registry were utilized to investigate the differential impact on CRC outcomes from demographic and clinical characteristics among non-Hispanic white (NHW), non-Hispanic Black (NHB), U.S.
