Although the few
studies identified emphasize the significant lack of knowledge in this
critical area, some potentially important findings across all of the a
priori selected survivorship outcome categories were identified. Research
examining ethnicor minority differences in cancer survivorship outcomes is
limited largely to epidemiologic analyses of differences in
cancer risk and survival; little effort has been made to extend findings
related to differential risk of developing, being diagnosed with, and being
treated for or dying of cancer to address their effect on individuals living
with this disease. This representsa wide-open and timely area for inquiry
for future investigators (15).
