Characterizing the Impact of Race and Contemporary Redlining on Receipt of Guideline-Concordant Locoregional Therapy Among Older Women With Breast Cancer
In this cohort of older women with BC, NH Black race and redlining, even after adjusting for several important clinical and demographic factors, were associated with a lower likelihood of receiving guideline-concordant LRT. This finding demonstrates the profound impact of interpersonal racism and redlining on receipt of cancer-directed therapies and highlights the need for further work to combat systemic inequities and interpersonal racism.
