Patient-reported supportive care needs among Asian American cancer patients. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Cancer is the leading cause of death for Asian Americans, yet there’s limited research on their supportive care needs during treatment for colorectal, liver, or lung cancer.
  • This study involved 24 Asian American cancer patients, primarily older individuals with limited English proficiency, who received support from a patient navigator over six months, assessing their needs through surveys.
  • Key findings revealed that participants prioritized needs for cancer information, nutrition, language assistance, and increasingly sought mental health resources and healthcare access over time.

Article Abstract

Purpose: Cancer is the leading cause of death for Asian Americans. However, few studies have documented supportive care needs from the perspective of Asian American cancer patients. This study describes the needs reported by Asian American patients with colorectal, liver, or lung cancer over a 6-month period during their treatment.

Methods: Participants were recruited through the Greater Bay Area Cancer Registry and from cancer care providers in San Francisco. Participants self-identified as Asian or Asian American; were age 21 or older; spoke English, Chinese, or Vietnamese; and had stage I-III colon, rectum, liver, or lung cancer. Participants were matched with a language concordant patient navigator who provided support during a 6-month period. Needs were assessed by surveys at baseline, 3, and 6 months.

Results: Among 24 participants, 58% were 65 years or older, 42% did not complete high school, and 75% had limited English proficiency (LEP). At baseline, the most prevalent needs were cancer information (79%), nutrition and physical activity (67%), language assistance (54%), and daily living (50%). At the 3- and 6-month follow-up surveys, there was a higher reported need for mental health resources and healthcare access among participants.

Conclusion: In this pilot study of Asian American cancer patients who predominantly had LEP, participants reported many needs, with cancer information and language assistance as the most prominent. The findings highlight the importance of culturally and linguistically appropriate patient navigators in addressing supportive care needs among cancer patients with LEP.

Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03867916.
