Abstract
While the prognosis for lung cancer survival in Nevada is poor for all populations, there is no racial/ethnic disparity. However, there is a considerable survival disparity by geographic region, with Southern Nevadans disproportionately impacted. Potential modifiable factors include treatment differences, particularly in receipt of surgery for potentially curative tumor types such as localized NSCLC. Further studies are required to identify barriers to receipt of surgery in Southern Nevada.
