Patients with glioblastoma: A tale of health care access and genetic ancestry

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The incidence of glioblastoma, previously described as a disease predominantly affecting non‐Hispanic White patients, was higher among non‐White patients in the authors' recent study in which the racial/ethnical composition of the patients was representative of the overall population. These findings offer an opportunity to accurately redefine the patient population of patients with glioblastoma bearing the burden of this disease in the United States.
