T4. #PatientsIncluded: What health equity issues are important for patients undergoing radiation treatment? #RadOnc #JC



@Rad_Nation @dr_dominicana @PranshuMohindra @SorenBentzen @UMarylandRadOnc I'm intrigued that Black patients were more likely to be single, resulting in less family support (ie, transportation, stress, financial support). Does being single lead to these unmet needs or are these unmet needs a barrier to getting married?

@Rad_Nation @dr_dominicana @PranshuMohindra @SorenBentzen @UMarylandRadOnc In the United States, Medicaid may be a driver of health inequity. Medicaid beneficiaries tend to be non-white and denied equal access to elite cancer institutions. Until Medicaid beneficiaries have the freedom to choose where they go, we won't see #healthequity
