Addressing Colorectal Cancer Disparities in Unhoused Populations: A Call for Equitable Access and Compassionate Care
Housing is essential for health. Unhoused individuals have markedly worse health status than the general population culminating in higher rates of premature mortality. Cancer is a leading cause of death in older unhoused adults. Caring for unhoused patients at risk for or with colorectal cancer poses challenges at every stage of oncologic care: prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. These challenges result in later stages at diagnosis and worse overall survival. Health systems can work to advance health equity in colorectal cancer in unhoused patients by improving access to care, transitions of care, health care quality, and focusing on socioeconomic/environmental impact.
期刊介绍:
Clinics in Colon and Rectal Surgery is a review journal that publishes topic-specific issues on diseases of the small bowel, colon, rectum, and anus.
Designed for clinicians, researchers, and educators involved with diseases of the intestinal tract, the journal covers a broad spectrum of basic information, controversial clinical issues, and established and innovative diagnostic techniques.
Issue topics comprehensively cover the entire specialty over a 3-4 year period, allowing the articles to serve as study material for educational programs and certifying examinations. The inclusion of research and clinical material also allows physicians to remain knowledgeable of current advances in the specialty.
