African American Older Adults With Cancer
The needs of older African Americans with advanced cancer are not understood. I became interested in this population after first thinking of this group as survivors and looking into the survivorship programs that are offered to people living with advanced cancer… I was aware of the disparities in cancer treatment , poor survival outcomes for underserved populations and vulnerable populations but further investigation of the literature revealed how living with advanced cancer was a multifaceted problem for people in urban centers related to socioeconomic and the personal struggles to survive not only cancer but economic distress.
