Identifying Nutritional Inequities of Patients with Cancer Residing in Food Deserts
Inequities were identified in patients residing in FPAs, where race and higher stage were important predictors of food insecurity. Demographics can be readily used by clinicians to identify high-risk patients early in their cancer care in order to provide continuous nutritional resources to improve food insecurity perceptions. Future prospective studies are needed to confirm if such interventions improve cancer outcomes.
