Lower quality of cancer care available to minority patients

Reference no: EM133688068

Question

The impact of culture on cancer outcomes is bidirectional. The patient's and their family's culture influences the meanings assigned to the threat of cancer and their response to both the disease and the healthcare system. Those who have the poorest outcomes for cancer are also often members of groups who face more significant structural barriers to quality care. Unequal distribution of funding for hospitals caring for minorities results in a lower quality of cancer care available to minority patients.
