Abstract

The article presents a study which explores the disparities in patient treatment allocation for advanced ovarian cancer based on the data from the National Cancer Database in the U.S. It shows that Medicaid-insured and uninsured patients were less likely to receive standard treatment compared to privately-insured patients. It notes that 47% of these patients did not receive standard treatment and factors such as race, age, and insurance status were associated with nonstandard treatment.
