Race Plays Major Role in Severe Metastatic Breast Cancer Pain
November 26, 2007 at 7:47 PM
Cancer News
Dr. Castel and her co-authors note that their findings confirm published evidence that non-Caucasians are at highest risk for undertreatment of pain, including inadequate dosing and poor access to medication.
Racial/ethnic minority patients have also been shown to be at greater risk for breast cancer mortality.
The authors conclude that research should seek to uncover and resolve the reasons for these racial disparities.
In addition, clinicians should use information about known risk factors to inform more aggressive and earlier intervention among non-Caucasian women with metastatic breast cancer, say the authors.
The study is published in the January 1, 2008 issue of CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society.
