Racial Disparities Persist in Lung Cancer Treatments
April 15th, 2009Black lung cancer patients are less likely than White patients to receive recommended chemotherapy and surgery, reports HealthDayNews.com, citing a new study. In fact, the study found, the racial gap in the treatments were as stark in 2002 as they were more than a decade earlier – despite the efforts over the years to diminish inequalities in treatment. “This study shows what most of the previous research has shown – that disparities in treatment patterns [still exist] between [B]lacks and [W]hites,” said Katherine S. Virgo, director of health services research the American Cancer Society, who was not involved in the study. Researchers learned that African Americans early-stage cancer were 37 percent less likely to get recommended surgery and 42 percent less likely to receive recommended chemotherapy, compared with Whites, according to the findings, which were published in the April 13 online edition of the journal Cancer. “Among patients with later-stage lung cancer, [B]lacks were 57 percent less likely to receive recommended chemotherapy than [W]hites, HealthDayNews.com reports.

This happens because white doctors care about white patients more than black patients. Remember they used to think we were only 2/3rd of a white man, that hasn’t changed they just don’t always say it out loud. Institutional racism has been so deeply entrenched in the fabric of this country that it will never be eliminated until all the old white racist in powerful positions die and non-racist take over. Then we still got those wannabes Indians, Africans, Polish, Asians, other minorities who learned to hate blacks from the white man. Other minorities think that if they hate blacks too then whites will like them better and treat them better. Well it don’t work that way whites are telling slant eye, %**~, bean and rice eater, spear chucker, ganja jokes about yall right along with the black jokes.
