Chadwick Boseman, who will play King T'Challa in the film Black Panther, died recently of colon cancer at age 43 after years of fighting.
A study conducted with 16,382 patients has found that African Americans are, in fact, less likely to receive life-saving medical care, such as chemotherapy, so they have 17% more likely to die from colon cancer than their white peers.
Poor medical care
The researchers of City of Hope National Medical Center in California analyzed data from 2000 to 2012 on California patients with colon cancer that has spread to the liver, comparing treatments, outcomes, and demographics such as race, age, sex, and concurrent health problems.
They found that black people are 10% less likely overall to receive life-saving colorectal cancer treatment. They are also 17% more likely to die than their white peers.
According to the research, this could be attributed to factors such as lower referral rate to cancer specialists, late detection of colorectal cancer metastases, and patient-reported barriers, including fear of cancer and its treatment, costs and burdens of transportation, and childcare during therapy.
That is to say, that we are not simply dealing with genetic or biological factors, but as a result of complex intersections of discrimination and inequality in employment, housing, stress and other chronic diseases, as well as reliable access to both preventive care and medical treatment.
