Potential role of perceived discrimination and sociodemographics on racial disparities in breast cancer symptom burden
Black women experienced higher early symptoms during adjuvant endocrine therapy. Although perceived discrimination was associated with greater symptom burden, it did not clinically or statistically significantly explain Black-White differences in symptoms. Income explained the largest portion of Black-White symptom differences. Addressing income inequality is essential for equitable symptom management.
