Describing the intersection of ethnicity and gender in early-stage non–small cell lung cancer
Female sex was associated with improved overall survival in patients with early-stage lung cancer regardless of ethnicity. However, there is significant variation between ethnic groups in the absolute size of this association. Additional studies are necessary to determine which factors contribute to this disparity, including but not limited to biological, clinical, and health-systems related.
