This last one exemplified the overall tenor of these reports. Omid Salehi, MD, of Tufts University in Boston, reported that having government insurance such as Medicaid predicted worse survival probability but Black patients fared poorly irrespective of insurance status.
Data for this study came from a multi-institutional prospective cancer registry and covered 1,072 patients with colorectal, esophageal, gastric, liver, pancreatic, and hepatobiliary cancers. As the title indicates, adjustments were taken for age and gender. Black patients with private insurance showed nearly the same increased risk of early death as those with government insurance (HR 1.936 vs 2.077, relative to white patients with private insurance). White patients with government insurance showed poorer survival in the same range (HR 1.844).
