Racial/Ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in endocrine therapy adherence in breast cancer: a systematic review.
The authors sought to understand factors that influence endocrine therapy (ET) adherence among racial/ethnic and socioeconomic subpopulations of breast cancer patients. They found significant underuse of ET among minority and low-income women. They further noted that both race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status are associated with ET use in most settings.
