Racial-Ethnic Disparities in the Quality of End-of-Life Care Among Lung Cancer Patients
Significant disparities in the quality of end-of-life lung cancer care were found among racial-ethnic minorities, with higher odds of experiencing potentially preventable medical encounters during end-of-life as compared with non-Hispanic whites.
