Perceived discrimination in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients is linked to lower income, not race or cancer stage. Addressing financial barriers may reduce discrimination for HNC patients.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Health Disparities
  • Social Determinants of Health

Background:

  • Head and neck cancer (HNC) affects over 14,400 annually in the U.S.
  • Racial minorities and disadvantaged HNC patients face worse outcomes and advanced stage diagnoses.
  • Racial disparities persist even after adjusting for socioeconomic factors, suggesting other drivers like discrimination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between perceived discrimination and demographic, racial, and oncologic factors in HNC patients.
  • To test the hypothesis that perceived discrimination correlates with race and advanced cancer stage.

Main Methods:

  • Seventy-two HNC patients were recruited.
  • Discrimination was measured using the Discrimination in Medical Settings Scale (DMS).

Therapy Testing in a Spheroid-based 3D Cell Culture Model for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Published on: April 20, 2018

  • Associations were analyzed using general linear models, with qualitative insights collected.

    • Main Results:

    • Lower-income patients reported significantly higher discrimination than high-income patients.
    • No significant association was found between discrimination scores and cancer stage.
    • Black patients reported lower discrimination than White patients (nonsignificant).

    Conclusions:

    • Perceived discrimination in HNC patients is primarily associated with income.
    • Addressing income-related barriers and social needs may help mitigate discrimination.
    • Further research is needed to understand and address discrimination in HNC care.
