Disparities in the Receipt of Palliative-intent Treatment Across Disaggregated Hispanic Subgroups With Stage IV Gastric Cancer in the United States

These inequities likely reflect intersecting socioeconomic, linguistic, and structural barriers. Advancing equity will require culturally responsive communication, improved language access, and systemic reform in end-of-life care delivery.
