- Abstract
This article examines disparities in melanoma presentation and overall survival among different Hispanic nationalities in the United States. The study found that Hispanic patients, particularly those of Mexican and South or Central American descent, were more likely to present with advanced melanoma and have worse outcomes compared to non-Hispanic White patients. Cuban and Mexican patients had the lowest 5-year overall survival rates. The study highlights the need for further research and targeted interventions to address these disparities, taking into account factors such as healthcare access, cultural practices, and skin types.
