Article Synopsis
- The study examines factors that lead to unequal access to recommended chemotherapy for breast cancer patients, focusing on demographics, clinical characteristics, and geographical location.
- Key findings show that older age (≥ 65), living in areas with high poverty, and having early-stage disease are linked to not receiving chemotherapy, which in turn correlates with poorer survival rates.
- A specific area in West Texas was identified as having significantly lower chemotherapy receipt and higher breast cancer mortality, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address these disparities.
