Ethnic disparities in renal cell carcinoma: An analysis of Hispanic patients in a single ‐payer healthcare system
ConclusionsWithin an equal access healthcare system, Hispanics seem to be diagnosed at younger ages, to have greater comorbidities and to present more frequently with clear cell renal cell carcinoma compared with non‐Hispanic white patients. Despite lower stage and greater receipt of surgery, Hispanic ethnicity seems to be an independent predictor of mortality. Further work is necessary to confirm these findings.
